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 who would not keep My covenant,
6
that thou bring them to confusion and their mother to be 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.
