24:005:005 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them;
           for they have known the way of the lord, and the judgment of
           their God:  but these have altogether broken the yoke, and
           burst the bonds.

24:005:006 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf
           of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over
           their cities:  every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in
           pieces:  because their transgressions are many, and their
           backslidings are increased.

24:005:007 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken
           me, and sworn by them that are no gods:  when I had fed them to
           the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled
           themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.

24:005:008 They were as fed horses in the morning:  every one neighed
           after his neighbour’s wife.

24:005:009 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the lord:  and shall
           not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

24:005:010 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: 
           take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’s.

24:005:011 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very
           treacherously against me, saith the lord.

24:005:012 They have belied the lord, and said, It is not he; neither
           shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor
           famine: 

24:005:013 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in
           them:  thus shall it be done unto them.

24:005:014 Wherefore thus saith the lord God of hosts, Because ye speak
           this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and
           this people wood, and it shall devour them.

24:005:015 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of
           Israel, saith the lord:  it is a mighty nation, it is an
           ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not,
           neither understandest what they say.

24:005:016 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

24:005:017 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy
           sons and thy daughters should eat:  they shall eat up thy
           flocks and thine herds:  they shall eat up thy vines and thy
           fig trees:  they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein
           thou trustedst, with the sword.

24:005:018 Nevertheless in those days, saith the lord, I will not make a
           full end with you.
