When they built their homes right next to mine—their threshold beside my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall separating us—they disgraced me and my holiness by the disgusting sins they committed. That's why I destroyed them in my anger.

Now if they get rid of their prostitution and their pagan honoring of their dead kings, and I will live with them forever.
