For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision concerns the whole multitude, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourns in Israel, who separates himself from me, and sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:

Son of man, write you the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
