Chapter 65: The sins and salvation of the Jewish people
- I sent to the Jewish people prophets, but the Jewish people refused to listen to them.
- Idolatry: They continue to slaughter to idolatry and bring incense to idols.
- Non-kosher foods: The Jewish people would sit in graves for the sake of necromancy, and eat pork, and eat from vessels of non-kosher soups.
- Belittling the righteous: They belittle those who are righteous and claim to be holier than them.
- Punishment for sins and reward for the righteous: All of their sins are written before me, and I will exact punishment from them. However, I will not punish the righteous, and will give them inheritance of the land. You will receive land for their sheep to pasture and for their cows to graze. However, those of you who have left G-d and forgotten His holy mountain and prepared a table for idolatry, you will be smitten by the sword. My servants will be given food to eat while you will starve, and while they will have drinks, you will remain thirsty. My servants will rejoice while you will be saddened.
- The redemption: I will rejoice Jerusalem and rejoice My nation and there will no longer hear sounds of crime and scream.
