26:018:029 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the lord is not
           equal.  O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your
           ways unequal?

26:018:030 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one
           according to his ways, saith the Lord god.  Repent, and turn
           yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not
           be your ruin.

26:018:031 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have
           transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit:  for
           why will ye die, O house of Israel?

26:018:032 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith
           the Lord god:  wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

26:019:001 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

26:019:002 And say, What is thy mother?  A lioness:  she lay down among
           lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

26:019:003 And she brought up one of her whelps:  it became a young lion,
           and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

26:019:004 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and
           they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

26:019:005 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost,
           then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young
           lion.

26:019:006 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young
           lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.

26:019:007 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their
           cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by
           the noise of his roaring.

26:019:008 Then the nations set against him on every side from the
           provinces, and spread their net over him:  he was taken in
           their pit.

26:019:009 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the
           king of Babylon:  they brought him into holds, that his voice
           should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

26:019:010 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: 
           she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many
           waters.

26:019:011 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare
           rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches,
           and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her
           branches.

26:019:012 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the
           ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit:  her strong rods
           were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

26:019:013 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty
           ground.
