2:17 You have brought all this on yourself, Israel,
by deserting the Lord your God when he was leading you along the right path.
2:19 Your own wickedness will bring about your punishment.
Your unfaithful acts will bring down discipline on you.
Know, then, and realize how utterly harmful
it was for you to reject me, the Lord your God,
to show no respect for me,”
says the Lord God who rules over all.
