The Lord’s Response

19 The Lord saw it and became jealous,[a]
    provoked by his sons and daughters.
20 So he said:

“Let me hide my face from them.
    I will observe what their end will be,
because they are a perverted generation,
    children within whom there is no loyalty.
21 They provoked me to jealousy over non-gods,
    and to be angry over their vanity.
Now I’ll provoke them to jealousy over a non-people;
    and over a foolish nation I’ll provoke them to anger.
