For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard 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 for ever!

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

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

And it shall be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and behold, it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:

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

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