With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out. 13 And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought. 14 And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed -- the same day, 15 Elder, and accepted of face, he `is' the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he `is' the tail. 16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed. 17 Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one `is' profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly.

And still His hand is stretched out!

And what hath Jehovah spoken? 36 And the burden of Jehovah ye do not mention any more, For the burden to each is -- His word, And ye have overturned the words of the living God, Jehovah of Hosts, our God. 37 Thus dost thou say unto the prophet What hath Jehovah answered thee? And what hath Jehovah spoken? 38 And if the burden of Jehovah ye say, Therefore thus said Jehovah: Because of your saying this word, The burden of Jehovah, And I do send unto you, saying, Ye do not say, The burden of Jehovah.
