⁵ But you, his people, have not served him faithfully.
    Because of your sins, you cannot continue to be his children.
You have turned against him.
    You enjoy doing bad things.
⁶ You are fools who do not understand what is right.
    You should not do these things against the Lord.
He is your Father, the one who created you.
    He made you become a strong nation.
⁷ Remember what happened a long time ago.
Think about the lives of your ancestors.
Ask your father or the old men.
    They will tell you what happened in the past.
