And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel were gathered together, and they appointed to them one head, and they came up out of the land: for great the day of Jezreel.

My people were cut off from not knowing: because thou didst reject knowledge and I will reject thee from being priest to me: and thou wilt forget the instructions of thy God; I will also forget thy sons, also I

Hear this ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, ye house of the king; for the judgment is to you, because ye were a snare to the watch tower and a net stretched out upon Tabor.

The princes of Judah were as they removing the bound: upon them will I pour out my wrath as water.

Israel was swallowed down: now they were among the nations as a vessel no delight in it.

According to their pasture, and they will be satiated; they were satiated, and their heart will be lifted up: for this they forgat me.
