Thus the sonsof Israeldid not rememberthe LORDtheir God,who had deliveredthem from the handsof alltheir enemieson everyside;
And a fireblazedup in their company;The flameconsumedthe wicked.
They forgotGodtheir Savior,Who had donegreatthingsin Egypt,
They forgotHis deedsAnd His miraclesthat He had shownthem.
They did not rememberHis power,The daywhenHe redeemedthem from the adversary,
Rememberalso your Creatorin the daysof your youth,beforethe evildayscomeand the yearsdrawnearwhenyou will say,"I havenodelightin them";
"Can a virginforgether ornaments,Or a brideher attire?Yet My peoplehave forgottenMe Dayswithoutnumber.
who intendto make My peopleforgetMy nameby their dreamswhichthey relateto oneanother,justas their fathersforgotMy namebecause of Baal?
"Then I will giveher her vineyardsfrom there,And the valleyof Achoras a doorof hope.And she will singthereas in the daysof her youth,As in the daywhen she cameup from the landof Egypt.
"Onlygiveheedto yourself and keepyour souldiligently,sothat you do not forgetthe thingswhichyour eyeshave seenand they do not departfrom your heartallthe daysof your life;but makethem knownto your sonsand your grandsons.
The sonsof Israeldidwhatwas evilin the sightof the LORD,and forgotthe LORDtheir Godand servedthe Baalsand the Asheroth.
