If he is uprooted from his place, it will deny [knowing] him, saying, "I never saw you."

You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue for deceit. You sit, maligning your brother, slandering your mother's son.

"Understand this, you who forget God, or I will tear you apart, and there will be no rescuer.

They will ask about Zion, [turning] their faces to this road. They will come and join themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
