7. Verses 11-12 “Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen,

8. they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because
