The nation of Israel sinned for a long time,
They forgot the Lord and lived a sinful life.
Against God, they did many wrong things,
New altars were built on every side.
The people built all kinds of statues,
They burned incense in all forests.
They did everything that God had forbidden,
All kinds of gods and idols were adored by them.
That entire people, the Lord has warned,
But prophets’ advice, nobody has heard.
They continued doing as the other nations,
Living the entire time practicing abominations.
The people made too many carved images,
They burned their sons, practicing abomination.
They believed in omen and divination.
Putting big sins in their hearts and the nation.
Even the tribe of Judah also sinned,
The Lord got very angry and moved away from them,
The whole people of Israel went into captivity,
Paying for the great sins they committed.
