The portion of Jacob not as these: for he forming all things, and Israel the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of armies his name.

Thus said Jehovah to me: Make to thee bonds and rods and give them upon thy neck,

All ye about him, bewail for him; and all ye knowing his name, say, How was the strong rod broken, the beautiful shoot!

Not as these the portions of Jacob; for he the former of all: and the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of armies his name.
