And I have made to them a covenant in that day, with the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down confidently.

And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.'

And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder -- the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.

When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.

They have gone deep -- have done corruptly, As in the days of Gibeah, He doth remember their iniquity, He doth inspect their sins.

Their heart hath been divided, now they are guilty, He doth break down their altars, He doth destroy their standing-pillars.

Thus hath Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn cut off utterly is a king of Israel!
