And Jehovah will say to me in the days of Josiah the king, Sawest thou what Israel turning back, did? She went up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and she will commit fornication there. And saying after she did all these, Thou shalt turn back to me.

And Jehovah will raise up judges, and they will save them from the hand of their plunderers. And also they will not hear to their judges, for they committed fornications after other gods, and they will worship to them: they turned aside quickly from the way which their fathers went to hear the commands of Jehovah; they did not so. And when Jehovah raised up to them judges, and Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them from the hand of their enemies all of the days of the judge: for Jehovah will grieve from their groaning from the face of those pressing them and thrusting them. And it was in the dying of the judge, they will turn back and be corrupted above their fathers to go after other gods to serve them and to worship to them: they let nothing fall from their deeds and from their hard way.

And he will guide them in a cloud the day, and all the night in a light of fire. He will rend the rocks in the desert, and give drink as the great abyss. And he will bring forth flowings from the rock, and bring down waters as rivers. And they will yet add to sin against him to embitter the Most High in a dry land. And they will tempt God in their heart to ask food for their soul. And they will speak against God; they said, Will God be able to arrange a table in the desert? Behold, he struck the rock and waters will flow, and torrents will pour out; will he be able also to give bread? or will he prepare flesh for his people? For this Jehovah heard and he will overflow, and a fire was kindled in Jacob, and also anger came up upon Israel. For they believed not in God, and they trusted not in his salvation. And he commanded the clouds from above, and he opened the doors of the heavens. And he will rain upon them manna to eat, and he gave the grain of the heavens to them. Man ate the bread of the strong: he sent to them provision to fulness. He will cause the east wind to go forth in the heavens, and by his strength he will lead the south wind. And he will rain flesh upon them as the dust, birds of feather as the sand of the seas. And it shall fall in the midst of his camp, round about to his habitations. And they shall eat and be well filled: and he will bring to them their desire. They turned not away from their desire, yet their food in their mouth. And the anger of God came up upon them, and he will slay among their fat ones and he bowed down the chosen of Israel. In all this they yet sinned, and they believed not in his wonders. And he will finish their days in vanity, and their years in terror. When he slew them and they sought him, and they turned back and sought for God. And they will remember that God is their Rock, and God the Most High redeemed them. And they will deceive with their mouth, and with their tongue they will lie to him. And their heart was not right with him, and they were not firm in his covenant And he being compassionate will cover iniquity, and he will not destroy: and he multiplied to turn back his anger, and he will not rouse up all his wrath. And he will remember that they are flesh; a spirit going and not turning back. How often they will embitter him in the desert! they will grieve him in the waste. And they will turn back and tempt God, and they broke in upon the Holy One of Israel.
