And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
And when this people, or the prophet, Or a priest, doth ask thee, saying, What `is' the burden of Jehovah? Then thou hast said unto them: Ye `are' the burden, and I have left you, An affirmation of Jehovah.
And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and ye have known that I `am' Jehovah.'
`Son of man, what `is' this simile to you, concerning the land of Israel, saying, Prolonged are the days, and perished hath every vision?
verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
