One of you will say to me: ‘Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?’

You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”

We put no stumbling-block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.

We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,

We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift.

We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us,

But God found fault with the people and said :

‘The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.

For he finds fault with them when he says:

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
