25

Because they have forsakenh5800h8804 me, and have burned incenseh6999h8762h8675h6999h8686 unto otherh312 godsh430, that they might provoke me to angerh3707h8687 with all the worksh4639 of their handsh3027; therefore my wrathh2534 shall be poured outh5413h8799 upon this placeh4725, and shall not be quenchedh3518h8799.

Because thine hearth3824 was tenderh7401h8804, and thou didst humbleh3665h8735 thyself beforeh6440 Godh430, when thou heardesth8085h8800 his wordsh1697 against this placeh4725, and against the inhabitantsh3427h8802 thereof, and humbledsth3665h8735 thyself beforeh6440 me, and didst rendh7167h8799 thy clothesh899, and weeph1058h8799 beforeh6440 me; I have even heardh8085h8804 thee also, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

28

Behold, I will gatherh622h8802 thee to thy fathersh1, and thou shalt be gatheredh622h8738 to thy graveh6913 in peaceh7965, neither shall thine eyesh5869 seeh7200h8799 all the evilh7451 that I will bringh935h8688 upon this placeh4725, and upon the inhabitantsh3427h8802 of the same.
