Hear this word, O ye house of Israel. And why? I must make this moan for you:

Therefore the wise must now be fain to hold his tongue, so wicked a time is it.

but the high hill chapels of Isaac must be laid waste, and the churches of Israel made desolate: and as for the house of Jeroboam, I will stand up against it with the sword."

For when the LORD God of hosts toucheth a land, it consumeth away, and all they that dwell therein, must needs mourn: And why? Their destruction shall arise as every stream and run over them, as the flood in Egypt.
