Set the

eagle against the
house of the
LORD, because they have
transgressed my
covenant, and
trespassed against my
law.

Israel hath cast

They have set up
kings, but not by me: they have made
princes, and I
knew it not: of their
silver and their
gold have they
made them
idols, that they may be cut
off.

Thy

cast thee off; mine

attain to
innocency?

God: but the

For they have

For they are gone

They

remember their
iniquity, and
visit their
sins: they shall

For
Israel hath
