38:007:011 But they refused to hearken, and pulled
away the shoulder, and
stopped
their ears, that they should not hear.
38:007:012 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant
stone, lest they
should
hear the law, and the words which the lord of
hosts
hath
sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore
came
a
great wrath from the lord of hosts.
38:007:013 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he
cried, and they would
not
hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the
lord
of
hosts:
38:007:014 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among
all the nations
whom
they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after
them,
that
no man passed through nor returned: for they laid
the
pleasant
land desolate.
38:008:001 Again the word of the lord of hosts came to me, saying,
38:008:002 Thus saith the lord of hosts; I was
jealous for Zion with
great
jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
38:008:003 Thus saith the lord; I am returned
unto Zion, and will dwell
in
the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be
called a
city
of truth; and the mountain of the lord of hosts
the holy
mountain.
38:008:004 Thus saith the lord of hosts; There
shall yet old men and old
women
dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with
his
staff in his hand for very age.
38:008:005 And the streets of the city shall be full
of boys and girls
playing
in the streets thereof.
38:008:006 Thus saith the lord of hosts; If it
be marvellous in the eyes
of
the remnant of this people in these days, should it
also be
marvellous
in mine eyes? saith the lord of hosts.
38:008:007 Thus saith the lord of hosts; Behold,
I will save my people
from
the east country, and from the west country;
38:008:008 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell
in the midst of
Jerusalem:
and they shall be my people, and I will be their
God,
in truth and in righteousness.
38:008:009 Thus saith the lord of hosts; Let
your hands be strong, ye
that
hear in these days these words by the mouth of the
prophets,
which were in the day that the foundation of the
house
of the lord of hosts was laid, that the temple
might be
built.
38:008:010 For before these days there was no hire
for man, nor any hire
for
beast; neither was there any peace to him that went
out or
came
in because of the affliction: for I set all men
every one
against
his neighbour.
