But still they are your people and your heritage, whom you took out by your great power and by your stretched-out arm.

Then the responsible men of the town will send for the man, and have talk with him: and if he still says, I will not take her;

That man among you who is soft and used to comfort will be hard and cruel to his brother, and to his dear wife, and to of those his children who are still living;

For I have knowledge of your hard and uncontrolled hearts: even now, while I am still living, you will not be ruled by the Lord; how much less after my death?
