GOD

¶ And it came to passe, when I prophecied, that Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah died: then fell I downe vpon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said; Ah LORD God, wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

Therefore say, Thus sayth the LORD God; Although I haue cast them farre off among the heathen, and although I haue scattered them among the countreys, yet will I be to them as a little Sanctuarie in the countreys where they shall come.

Therefore say, Thus saith the LORD God; I will euen gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countreys where ye haue beene scattered, and I will giue you the land of Israel.

But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things, and their abominations, I wil recompense their way vpon their owne heads, saith the LORD God.

Say thou vnto them; Thus saith the LORD God; This burden concerneth the Prince in Ierusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

And say vnto the people of the land; Thus sayth the LORD God, of the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulnes, and drinke their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of them that dwell therein.

Tell them therefore, Thus sayth the LORD God; I will make this prouerbe to cease, and they shall no more vse it as a prouerbe in Israel: but say vnto them, The dayes are at hand, and the effect of euery vision.

For I am the LORD: I will speake, & the word that I shall speake, shall come to passe: it shall be no more prolonged: for in your dayes, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will performe it, sayth the LORD God.

Therefore say vnto them, Thus saith the LORD God, There shal none of my words be prolonged any more, but the worde which I haue spoken, shall be done, sayth the LORD God.

Thus saith the LORD God; Woe vnto the foolish prophets, that follow their owne spirit, and haue seene nothing.
