“Thus,
You do as well.
You cover Yahweh’s altar
With tears,
With weeping,
With groaning,
Because he no longer regards
The offering.
He no longer accepts it
With favor
At your hand.”
Yahweh will no longer accept the sacrifices of these foreign worshippers, even though they cover his altar with tears, weeping, and groaning. He no longer regards these sacrificial offerings with favor.
