Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.

But you, go on your way and take your rest: for you will be in your place at the end of the days.

And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.

And after that, the children of Israel will come back and go in search of the Lord their God and David their king; and they will come in fear to the Lord and to his mercies in the days to come.

After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.

But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; I will give you tents for your living-places again as in the days of the holy meeting.

Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
