And you shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay you, and call his servants by another name:
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.

There remains therefore a rest to the people of God.
