Morning by morning and evening by evening they burn to Yahweh the burnt offerings and the fragrant incense; they set out the rows of bread on the clean table, and light the golden lampstand with its lamps every evening. We keep the charge of Yahweh our God — but you have abandoned him.
In context
9Have you not driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made yourselves priests as the peoples of other lands do? Anyone who comes to be installed with a young bull and seven rams becomes a priest of what are not gods at all. 10But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not abandoned him. Our priests, who serve Yahweh, are sons of Aaron, and the Levites are at their work. 11Morning by morning and evening by evening they burn to Yahweh the burnt offerings and the fragrant incense; they set out the rows of bread on the clean table, and light the golden lampstand with its lamps every evening. We keep the charge of Yahweh our God — but you have abandoned him. 12See, God is with us, at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm, to sound the alarm against you. Israelites, do not fight against Yahweh, the God of your ancestors: you will not succeed.” 13Meanwhile Jeroboam had sent an ambush round to come at them from behind, so that his men were in front of Judah and the ambush behind.
