5 "Go thy way, and show My people their sinful deeds, and their children their wickedness which they have done against Me, that they may tell their children's children,

6 because the sins of their fathers are increased in them; for they have forgotten Me and have offered unto strange gods.

7 Am not I even He that brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage? But they have provoked Me unto wrath and despised My counsels.

8 Pull thou off then the hair of thy head and cast all evil upon them, for they have not been obedient unto My law, but they are a rebellious people.
