Herren sa videre til meg: «Det er funnet en sammensvergelse blant mennene fra Juda og blant dem som bor i Jerusalem. De har vendt tilbake til forfedrenes synder, de som nektet å høre på Mine Ord. De har fulgt andre guder og dyrket dem. Israels hus og Judas hus har brutt avtalen de hadde med Meg, den Jeg inngikk med forfedrene deres.»
