I would that thou haddest perceived my commandments, thy peace had been made as [a] flood, and thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness] as the swells of the sea;
That if ye hear not this, my soul shall weep in hid place for the face of pride; it weeping shall weep, and mine eye shall cast out a tear, for the flock of the Lord is taken.
say thou to them, I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked man, but that the wicked man be converted from his ways, and live; be ye converted from your worst ways, and why shall ye die, the house of Israel?
But days shall come in thee [or shall come to thee], and thine enemies shall environ thee with a pale, and they shall go about thee, and make thee strait on all sides,
and cast thee down to the earth, and thy sons [or thy children] that be in thee; and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, for thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
Then Paul and Barnabas stead-fastly said, To you it behooved first to speak the word of God; but for ye put it away, and have deemed you unworthy to [or of] everlasting life, lo! we turn to heathen men.
Who shall give that they have such soul, that they dread me, and keep all my commandments in all time, that it be well to them, and to the sons of them, without end?
