And he will call, A lion: on the watch-tower my lord, I stand continually in the day, and upon my watch I stand all the night And behold, here came a chariot, a man, a pair of horsemen.

O my threshing, and the son of my threshing-floor, what I heard from Jehovah of armies the God of Israel, I announced to you.

And they will go in the laws of the nations which Jehovah dispossessed from the face of the sons of Israel, and the kings of Israel which they made. And the sons of Israel will cover the words not thus concerning Jehovah their God, and they will build to them heights in all their cities from the tower of those watching even to the fortified city. And they will set to them statues and images upon every high hill, and under every green tree. And they will burn incense there in all the heights as the nations which Jehovah carried into exile from their face; and they will do evil words to irritate Jehovah: And they will serve blocks which Jehovah said to them, Ye shall not do this word. And Jehovah will testify in Israel and in Judah by the hand of all his prophets, all seeing, saying, Turn back from your evil ways and watch my commands, my laws according to all my instruction which I commanded your fathers, and which I Sent to you by the hand of my servants the prophets. And they heard not, and they will harden their neck as the neck Of their fathers who did not believe in Jehovah their God. And they will reject his laws and his covenant which he cut out with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified in them; and they will go after vanity, and they will be vain, and after the nations which were round about them which Jehovah commanded them not to do as they. And they will forsake all the commands of Jehovah their God, and make to them a molten thing, two Calves; and they will make images, and they will worship to all the army of the heavens, and serve Baal. And they will cause their sons and their daughters to pass through in fire, and divine divinations and enchantments, and they will be sold to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah to Irritate him. And Jehovah will be greatly angry against Israel, and he will remove them from his face: not to leave only the tribe of Judah alone. Also Judah watched not the commands of Jehovah their God, and they will go in the laws of Israel which they made. And Jehovah will reject in all the seed of Israel, and will afflict them, and he will give them into the hand of plunderers, till he cast them from his face. For he rent Israel from above the house of David; and they will make Jeroboam son of Nebat, king; and Jeroboam will thrust out Israel king after Jehovah, and he caused them to sin a great sin. And the sons of Israel will go in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they turned not away from them; Till Jehovah removed Israel from his face, as he spake by the hand of all his servants the prophets. And he will carry Israel into exile from his land to Assur, even to this day. And the king of Assur will come from Babel and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and sepharvaim, and he will set in the cities of Shomeron instead of the sons of Israel: and they will possess Shomeron and dwell in her cities.

And also the innocent blood which he poured forth, (and he will fill Jerusalem with innocent blood) and Jehovah would not pardon. And the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written upon the book of the words of the days to the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim will lie down with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son will reign in his stead.

And his mother's name Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. And he will do evil in the eyes of Jehovah according to all which his father did. In that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, came up to Jerusalem, and the city will come into siege. And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, will come against the city and his servants were pressing upon it And Jehoiachin king of Judah will go forth upon the king of Babel, he and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs: and the king of Babel will take him in the eighth year to his reigning. And he will bring forth from thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and he will cut off all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of Jehovah, according to the word of Jehovah. And he carried into exile all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty of strength, ten thousand exiles, and all the artificers, and the smiths: there was not left except the powerless of the people of the land. And he will carry Jehoiachin into exile into Babel, and the king's mother, and the king's wives and his eunuchs and the powerful of the land, he brought away exiles from Jerusalem into Babel. And all the men of strength, seven thousand and the artificers, and the smiths, a thousand, all strong, making war; and the king of Babel will bring them into exile into Babel.

And they will say, Come, we will build to us a city, and a tower, its head to the heavens; and we will make to us a name, lest we shall be dispersed over the face of the earth. And Jehovah will come down to see the city, and the tower which the sons of men built And Jehovah will say, Behold, the people one, and one lip to them all; and this they begin to do: and now it will not be restrained from them all which they shall imagine to do. Come, we will come down and mix their lip that they shall not hear a man the lip of his neighbor. And Jehovah will disperse them from thence over the face of all the earth: and they will cease to build the city. Therefore its name was called confusion, for there Jehovah confounded the lip of all the earth: and from thence Jehovah dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
