And Jehovah rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and gave them into the hand of the plunderers, until He had cast them out from His presence.
There they dreaded with dread, where no dread was; for God has scattered the bones of the one who besieges you; you have put them to shame because God rejects them.
Rejecting have You rejected Judah? Or has Your soul loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us and no healing is for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a healing time, but, behold, terror!
And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? Even you shall say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, a statement of Jehovah.
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what shall it be salted? For it has strength for nothing any more but to be thrown out and to be trampled under by men.
