Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says LORD. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says LORD.

And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

Then I cut apart my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

And the land shall mourn, every family apart, the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart, the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart,

the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart, the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart,

all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
