Cry out again, saying, So says Jehovah of Hosts: My cities shall yet be spread abroad through good, and Jehovah shall again overflow with goodness, and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

And I took my staff Kindness, and broke it apart, to break My covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

Then I broke My other staff Union apart, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

And the land shall mourn, each family apart; the family 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 Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

all the families who remain, each family apart and their wives apart.
