11 Judah has dealt treacherously,
And an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem,
For Judah has (A)profaned
The Lord’s holy institution which He loves:

12 May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob
The man who does this, being [a]awake and aware,
Yet (B)who brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!
