24:005:030 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
24:005:031 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

24:006:002 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
24:006:003 The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
24:006:004 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

24:006:007 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
24:006:008 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
