12 ^lTherefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They ^mturn their backs before their enemies, because they have become ⁿdevoted for destruction.¹ I will be with you no more, unless you destroy ^othe devoted things from among you. 13 Get up! Consecrate the people and say, ^p‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, God of Israel, “There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you.”

14 ^ySo the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he ^zgave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. ^aAnd he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, ^bso that they could no longer withstand their enemies.
