3
I brought you up with gladness; but with sorrow and heaviness have I lost you: for ye have sinned before the Lord your God, and done that thing that is evil before him.
4
But what shall I now do unto you? I am a widow and forsaken: go your way, O my children, and ask mercy of the Lord.
5
As for me, O father, I call upon thee for a witness over the mother of these children, which would not keep my covenant,
6
That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother to a spoil, that there may be no offspring of them.
7
Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their names be put out of the earth: for they have despised my covenant.
