Hear ye and testify to the house of Jacob, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, God of Hosts.

Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness.

and it hath come to pass, when it hath finished to consume the herb of the land, that I say: 'Lord Jehovah, forgive, I pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise -- for he is small?'

Lord Jehovah, cease, I pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise -- for he is small?'

Sworn hath Jehovah by the excellency of Jacob: 'I forget not for ever any of their works.

Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.
