⁶ Because these people rejected
the slowly flowing water of Shiloah
and rejoiced with^[a] Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,^(A)

⁹ They are a rebellious people,
deceptive children,^(A)
children who do not want to listen to the Lord’s instruction.

¹² Therefore the Holy One of Israel says:
‘Because you have rejected this message
and have trusted in oppression and deceit,
and have depended on them,

I will not relent from punishing Judah^(A)
for three crimes, even four,
because they have rejected the instruction of the Lord^(B)
and have not kept his statutes.^(C)
The lies^(D) that their ancestors followed^(E)
have led them astray.

⁴¹ Look, you scoffers,
marvel and vanish away,
because I am doing a work in your days,
a work that you will never believe,
even if someone were to explain it to you.’^[a](A)
