If I said, I will recount thus; behold, I transgressed against the generation of thy sons.
And ye departed out of the way; ye made many weak by the law; ye corrupted the covenant of Levi, said Jehovah of armies.
And ye a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for acquisition; so that ye should proclaim the excellencies of him having called you out of darkness into his wonderful light:
Good not to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor in what thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.
And if by food thy brother is grieved, thou no more walkest by love. Not by thy food destroy him, for whom Christ died.
This the generation seeking him, searching out thy face O Jacob. Silence.
A seed shall serve him; it shall be numbered to Jehovah for a generation.
There they feared a fear: for God is in the generation of the just one.
Nay, sons, for not a good report which I heard: causing the people of Jehovah to pass by.
