And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake.
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; Selah
Oh give thanks unto the Lord of lords; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
Their heart cried unto the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness; for we have rebelled against him;
Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain unto Jehovah, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
But cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles.
