transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the
curse is poured
upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have
sinned against him.

upon us a great
disaster. For under all of heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.

scatter among them the prey, and
spoil, and riches:
yea, and he shall
forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
In a time of peace, he will
invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will
lavish plunder,
loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.

sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy
upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
And I will
sow her as My own in the land, and I will have
compassion on ‘No
Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”

prostitution and your daughters-in-law to
adultery.

sifted in a
sieve; but not a

recompense will return
upon your own head.
