In Context

11Yehudah hath broken faith, 1 and a toeva (abomination) is committed 1 in Yisroel and in Yerushalayim; 1 for Yehudah hath committed chillul against 1 the Beis Hamikdash Hashem loves, 1 by marrying the bat el nekhar. 1

13And this too have ye done, 1 covering the mizbe'ach of Hashem with tears, 1 with weeping, and with crying out, 1 because that He regardeth not the minchah any more, 1 nor receiveth it with ratzon (good will) at your hand. 1
