For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard anything like it?

O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

Then shall you inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

Seven weeks shall you number unto you: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as you begin to put the sickle to the grain.

And it be told you, and you have heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination has been done in Israel:

And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall hereafter commit no more any such evil among you.

For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD your God.
