And, lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence.
26
And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.
27
O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine,
28
As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,
29
If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.
30
For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.
31
And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:
32
And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,
33
And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.
34
And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.
35
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.
