My meat which I gave thee, as simnels, oil and honey to feed thee withal, that hast thou set before them, for a sweet savour. And this came also to pass, sayeth the LORD God.

I will accept your sweet savour, when I bring you from the nations, and gather you together out of the lands, wherein ye be scattered: that I may be hallowed in you before the Heathen.

Thus sayeth the LORD God: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup, how deep and far soever it be to the bottom. Thou shalt be laughed to scorn, and had as greatly in derision, as is possible.

Down, how fair soever thou be, and lay thee with the uncircumcised!

Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God unto them: Behold, I will sever the fat sheep from the lean:

I will set up an excellent plant for them, so that they shall suffer no more hunger in the land, neither bear the reproof of the Heathen anymore.

And I will not suffer thee, for to hear thine own confusion among the Gentiles from henceforth. Thou shalt not bear the reproof of the nations, nor cast out thine own people any more, sayeth the LORD God.'"

They that labour for the wealth of the city, shall maintain this also, out of what tribe soever they be in Israel.
