Give them an unfruitful womb and dry breasts! ¹⁵ All their wickedness is done at Gilgal, there do I abhor them. For the ungraciousness of their own inventions, I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more, for all their princes are unfaithful. ¹⁶ Ephraim is hewn down, their root is dried up, so that they shall bring no more fruit: yea and though they bring forth any, yet will I slay even the best beloved fruit of their body. ¹⁷ My God shall cast them away, for they have not been obedient unto him, therefore shall they go astray among the Heathen.

⁴ If they go away before their enemies into captivity, then shall I command the sword there to slay them. Thus will I set mine eyes upon them, for their harm and not for their wealth.

¹⁶ For likewise as ye have drunken upon mine holy hill, so shall all Heathen drink continually: yea drink shall they, and swallow up, so that ye shall be as though ye had never been. ¹⁷ But upon the mount Zion, there shall a remnant escape: these shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess even those, that had themselves afore in possession.

¹ I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For even I verily am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, and of the tribe of Benjamin; ² God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Either know ye not what the scripture saith by the mouth of Elijah, how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, ³ "Lord they have killed thy prophets and digged down thine altars: and I am left only, and they seek my life." ⁴ But what saith the answer of God to him again? "I have reserved unto me seven thousand men which have not bowed their knees to Baal." ⁵ Even so at this time is there a remnant left through the election of grace. ⁶ If it be of grace, then is it not of works. For then were grace no more grace. If it be by the deserving of works, then is it no more grace. For then were deserving no longer deserving. ⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtained that that he sought. No but yet the election hath obtained it. The remnant are blinded,

²⁸ As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake. ²⁹ For verily the gifts and calling of God are such, that it cannot repent him of them.

⁶⁴ And the LORD shall scatter thee among all nations from the one end of the world unto the other, and there thou shalt serve strange gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known: even wood and stone.

²⁸ His breath is like a vehement flood of water, which goeth up to the throat. That he may take away the people, which have turned themselves unto vanity, and the bridle of error, that lieth in other folks' jaws.

³¹ And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired you, to sift you, as it were wheat:

¹¹ He hath said in his heart, "Tush, God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, so that he will never see it."

¹¹ Because now that evil works are not hastily punished, the heart of man giveth himself over unto wickedness.

¹⁹ Which used to speak on this manner: "Let him make haste now, and go forth with his work, that we may see it! Let that counsel of the holy one of Israel come, and draw nigh, that we may know it!"

¹⁴ Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye mockers that rule the LORD's people, which is at Jerusalem. ¹⁵ For ye comfort yourselves thus: "Tush, we have made a covenant with death, and with hell we are at an agreement. Though there break out any sore plague, it shall not come upon us. For with deceit will we escape, and with nimbleness will we defend ourselves."

¹⁴ The sinners at Zion are afraid, and a sudden fearfulness is come upon the hypocrites. "What is he among us," say they, "that will dwell by that consuming fire? Which of us may abide that everlasting heat?"

³⁸ The forsakers also and the transgressors will I take from among you, and bring them out of the land of your habitations: As for the land of Israel, they shall not come in it: that they may know how that I am the LORD.

¹⁶ Such as be lost, will I seek; such as go astray, will I bring again; such as be wounded, will I bind up; such as be weak, will I make strong; such as be fat and well liking, those will I preserve and feed them with the thing that is lawful. ¹⁷ "'And as for you, O my sheep, sayeth the LORD God: I will put a difference among the sheep, among the wethers and the goats.

¹ O Woe be to the proud wealthy in Zion, to such as think them so sure upon the mount of Samaria: which hold themselves for the best of the world, and rule the house of Israel, even as they list.

³ Ye are taken out for the evil day, even ye that sit in the stole of willfulness;

¹¹ In that time shalt thou no more be confounded, because of all thy imaginations, wherethrough thou hadst offended me: for I will take away the proud boasters of thine honour from thee, so that thou shalt no more triumph because of my holy hill. ¹² In thee also will I leave a small, poor, simple people: which shall trust in the name of the LORD. ¹³ The remnant of Israel shall do no wickedness, nor speak lies: neither shall there any deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. For they shall be fed, and take their rest, and no man shall make them afraid.

² Who shall endure in the day of his coming, or who shall stand to behold him? For he is as trying fire, and as the herb that fullers scour withal. ³ And he shall sit trying and purging silver, and shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall fine them as gold and silver. And they shall bring offering unto the LORD of righteousness. ⁴ And the sacrifice of Judah and of Jerusalem shall be delicious unto the LORD as in the old time and in the years that were at the beginning. ⁵ I will come and punish you, and I myself will be a swift witness against the witches, against the adulterers, against false swearers: yea, and against those that wrongfully keep back the hireling's duty, which vex the widows and the fatherless, and oppress the stranger, and fear not me, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

¹⁵ Therefore may we say, that the proud are happy, and that they which deal with ungodliness, are set up: for they tempt God and yet escape.'

¹ For mark, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven: and all the proud, yea and all such as do wickedness, shall be straw: and the day that is for to come, shall burn them up, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

¹⁰ Even now is the axe put unto the root of the trees: so that every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ¹¹ I baptise you in water in token of repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptise you with the holy ghost and with fire: ¹² Which hath also his fan in his hand, and will purge his floor, and gather the wheat into His garner; and will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire."

⁴¹ The son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that do offend, and all them which do iniquity, ⁴² and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁴⁹ So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out and sever the bad from the good, ⁵⁰ and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

¹⁰ Hast thou not preserved him, his house, and all his substance on every side? Hast thou not blessed the work of his hands? Is not his possession increased in the land?

¹² Why hast thou then broken down her hedge, that all they which go by, pluck off her grapes?

⁴⁰ Thou hast overthrown all his hedges, and broken down his strongholds.

⁵ Yet do I remember the times past; I muse upon all thy works. Yea, I exercise myself in the works of thy hands.

⁵ Well, now I shall tell you how I will do with my vineyard: I will take the hedge from it, that it may perish, and break down the wall, that it may be trodden under foot.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace." ⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

¹ There shall come a rod out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall spring out of his root. ² And on him shall light the spirit of the LORD: the spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and of strength, the spirit of knowledge and of reverence, and it shall make him savour of the fear of the LORD ³ And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes: neither shall rebuke after the hearing of his ears. ⁴ But he shall judge the causes of the poor with righteousness, and shall rebuke with equity for the humble of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall slay the wicked. ⁵ And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. ⁶ Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb, and the Leopard shall lie down by the goat. Bullocks, Lions and cattle shall keep company together, so that a little child shall rule them. ⁷ The cow and the Bear shall feed together, and their young ones shall lie together. The Lion shall eat straw like the ox, or the cow. ⁸ The child while he sucketh, shall have a desire to the serpents nest, and when he is weaned, he shall put his hand in to the Cockatrice den. ⁹ No man shall do evil to another, no man shall destroy another, in all the hill of my Sanctuary. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, even as though the water of the sea flowed over the earth. ¹⁰ Then shall the Gentiles enquire after the root of Jesse, which shall be set up for a token unto the Gentiles; for his dwelling shall be glorious.

⁵ And in mercy shall the throne be prepared, and he shall sit upon it in the truth, in the tabernacle of David: judging, and seeking judgment, and making haste unto righteousness.

¹¹ Yet remembered he the old time of Moses and his people: How he brought them from the water of the sea, as a shepherd doth with his sheep; how he had given his holy spirit among them;

⁵ "Behold, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that I will raise up the righteous Branch of David, which shall bear rule, and discuss matters with wisdom, and shall set up equity and righteousness again in the earth. ⁶ In his time shall Judah be saved and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: even, 'The LORD our righteous maker.'

⁹ but they shall do service unto God their LORD, and to David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

¹⁴ Behold, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that I will perform the good thing, which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. ¹⁵ Behold, the days will come saith the LORD, that I will stir up unto David a righteous branch, and he shall reign a king, and shall be wise, and shall do equity and justice in the earth. ¹⁶ And in his days Judah shall be safe, and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: 'The LORD our righteousness.'

²⁰ "Thus sayeth the LORD: May the covenant which I have made with day and night be broken, that there should not be day and night in due season? ²¹ Then may my covenant also be broken, which I made with David my servant, and so he not to have a son to reign in his Throne. So shall also the priests and Levites never fail, but serve me. ²² For like as the stars of heaven may not be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and of the Levites my ministers." ²³ Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁶ Yea, I will deliver them into the hands of those that seek after their lives: Namely, into the power of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and into the power of his servants. And after all these things, it shall be inhabited as afore time, sayeth the LORD.

²¹ O LORD, turn thou us unto thee: and so shall we be turned. Renew our days as in old time,

²⁴ And all the trees of the field shall know, that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, and set the low tree up: that I have dried up the green tree, and made the dry tree to flourish: Even I the LORD that spake it, have also brought it to pass.'"

²⁵ O thou shameful wicked guide of Israel whose day is come, even the time that wickedness shall have an end: ²⁶ Thus sayeth the LORD God: Take away the mitre, and put off the crown, and so is it away: the humble is exalted, and the proud brought low. ²⁷ Punish, punish, yea, punish them will I, and destroy them. And that shall not be fulfilled till he come, to whom the judgment belongeth, and to whom I have given it.

²³ I will raise up to them one only shepherd: even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. ²⁴ I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David shall be their prince: Even I the LORD have spoken it.

¹¹ I will provide you with much people and cattle, which shall increase and bring fruit. I will restore you also to your old estate, and show you more kindness than ever ye had before: whereby ye shall know, that I am the LORD.

²⁴ David my servant shall be their king, and they all shall have one shepherd only. They shall walk in my laws, and my commandments shall they both keep and fulfill. ²⁵ They shall dwell in the land that I gave unto Jacob my servant, whereas your fathers also have dwelt. Yea even in the same land shall they, their children, and their children's children dwell for evermore: and my servant David shall be their everlasting prince.

⁵ But afterward shall the children of Israel convert, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king: and in the latter days they shall worship the LORD, and his loving-kindness.

² And thou Bethlehem Ephrata, art little among the thousands of Judah: Out of thee shall come one, unto me, which shall be the governour in Israel: whose outgoing hath been from the beginning, and from everlasting.

¹⁴ Therefore feed thy people with thy rod; the flock of thine heritage which dwell desolate in the wood: that they may be fed upon the mount of Carmel, Bashan and Gilead as afore time.

³¹ Lo: thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. ³² He shall be great, and shall be called the son of the highest. And the Lord God shall give unto him the seat of his father David: ³³ And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom shall be none end."

⁶⁹ And hath raised up a horn of salvation unto us, in the house of his servant David. ⁷⁰ Even as he promised by the mouth of his holy prophets which were since the world began.

³⁰ Therefore seeing he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that the fruit of his loins should sit on his seat — in that Christ should rise again in the flesh - ³¹ He saw before, and spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul should not be left in hell: neither his flesh should see corruption. ³² This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. ³³ Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear. ³⁴ For David is not ascended into heaven, but he said, ³⁵ 'The Lord said to my Lord sit on my right hand, until I make thy foes, thy footstool.' ³⁶ So therefore let all the house of Israel know for a surety, that God hath made the same Jesus whom ye have crucified, Lord and Christ."

¹⁵ And to this agreeth the words of the prophets, as it is written, ¹⁶ 'After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David which is fallen down, and that which is fallen in decay of it will I build again and I will set it up, ¹⁷ that the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and also the Gentiles upon whom my name is named saith the Lord, which doth all these things.'

²⁹ People be thy servants, and nations bow unto thee. Be lord over thy brethren, and thy mother's children stoop unto thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee."

³⁷ Isaac answered and said unto Esau, "Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his mother's children have I made his servants. Moreover, with corn and wine have I established him. What can I do unto thee now my son?"

¹⁷ I see him but not now, I behold him but not nigh. There shall come a star of Jacob and rise a scepter of Israel, which shall smite the coasts of Moab and undermine all the children of Seth. ¹⁸ And Edom shall be his possession, and the possession of Seir shall be their enemies, and Israel shall do manfully.

⁸ Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I stretch out my shoe; Philistia shall be glad of me.

¹⁴ but they both together shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the West: and spoil them together that dwell toward the East. The Edomites and the Moabites shall let their hands fall, and the Ammonites shall be obedient unto them.

¹ But the LORD will be merciful unto Jacob, and will take up Israel again, and set them in their own land. Strangers shall cleave unto them, and get them to the house of Jacob. ² The people shall take them, and carry them home to their own land. And the house of Israel shall have them in possession for servants and maidens in the land of the LORD. They shall take those prisoners, whose captives they had been afore: and rule those that had oppressed them.

⁷ Namely, all those that be called after my name. For them have I created, fashioned, and made for mine honour.'"

¹⁹ And we are become even as we were from the beginning: but thou art not their LORD, for they have not called upon thy name.

¹ They shall seek me, that hitherto have not asked for me, they shall find me, that hitherto have not sought me. Then shall I say immediately to the people that never called upon my name, "I am here, I am here."

⁹ Why wilt thou make thyself a coward, and as it were a giant that yet may not help? For thou art ours, O LORD, and we bear thy name; therefore forsake us not."

¹⁶ When I had found thy words, I ate them up greedily: they have made my heart joyful and glad, for I call upon thy name, O LORD God of Hosts.

¹⁸ O my God, incline thine ear, and hearken; at the least for thine own sake, open thine eyes. Behold how we be desolated: yea, and the city also, which is called after thy name. For we do not cast our prayers before thee in our own righteousnesses, no, but only in thy great mercies. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear; O forgive Lord; O Lord consider, tarry not over long: but for thine own sake do it. O my God: for thy city and thy people is called after thy name."

⁸ Your sons and your daughters will I sell through the hands of the children of Judah, and so they shall give them forth to sell, unto them of Sheba, a people of a far country: for the LORD himself hath said it.

¹⁸ Moreover, the house of Jacob shall be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau the straw: which they shall kindle and consume, so that nothing shall be left of the house of Esau, for the LORD himself hath said it. ¹⁹ They of the South shall have the mount of Esau in possession. And look: what lieth upon the ground, that shall the Philistines have. The plain fields shall Ephraim and Samaria possess: and the mountains of Gilead shall Benjamin have. ²⁰ And this host shall be the children of Israel's prisoners: Now whatso lieth from Canaan unto Zarephath, and in Sepharad, that shall be under the subjection of Jerusalem: and the cities of the south shall inherit it. ²¹ Thus they that escape upon the hill of Zion, shall go up to punish the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.

⁴ And though Edom said, "Well, we are destroyed, we will go build up again the places that be wasted": yet sayeth the LORD of Hosts, "What they builded, that brake I down: so that it was called a cursed land and people, whom the LORD hath ever been angry withal."

¹⁷ that the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and also the Gentiles upon whom my name is named saith the Lord, which doth all these things.'

⁵ And the threshing shall reach unto wine harvest, and the wine harvest shall reach unto sowing time, and ye shall eat your bread in plenteousness, and shall dwell in your land peaceably.

⁵ the mountains melted before the LORD, even mount Sinai before the LORD God of Israel.

⁵ The hills melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the LORD of the whole earth.

¹ But the desert and wilderness shall rejoice, the waste ground shall be glad, and flourish as the lily. ² She shall flourish pleasantly, and be joyful, and ever be giving thanks more and more. For the glory of Lebanon, the beauty of Carmel and Sharon shall be given her. These shall know the honour of the LORD, and the majesty of our God.

¹³ For thorns, there shall grow Fir trees, and the Myrtle tree in the stead of briers. And this shall be done to the praise of the LORD, and for an everlasting token, that shall not be taken away.

³⁵ Then shall it be said, 'This wasteland is become like a garden of pleasure, and the void, desolate and broken down cities are now strong, and fenced again.'

²¹ At the same time will I show myself friendly and gracious unto the heavens, sayeth the LORD: and the heavens shall help the earth, ²² and the earth shall help the corn, wine, and oil, and they shall help Jezreel. ²³ I will sow them upon earth, for a seed to mine own self, and will have mercy upon her, that was without mercy. And to them which were not my people, I will say, 'Thou art my people.' And he shall say, 'Thou art my God.'"

¹⁸ And at that day the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall run with water. And a fountain shall go out of the house of the LORD and water the river of Shittim.

²⁰ And Judah shall continue ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

⁵ For when the LORD God of hosts toucheth a land, it consumeth away, and all they that dwell therein, must needs mourn: And why? Their destruction shall arise as every stream and run over them, as the flood in Egypt.

³⁵ Say not ye, 'There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest?' Behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the regions: For they are white already unto harvest.

⁶ O that the salvation were given unto Israel out of Zion! O that the LORD would deliver his people out of captivity! Then should Jacob rejoice, and Israel should be right glad.

⁴ They shall build the long rough wildernesses, and set up the old desert. They shall repair the waste places, and such as have been void throughout many generations.

⁸ The LORD hath sworn by his righthand and by his strong arm, that he will not give thy corn any more to be eaten of thine enemies: and that aliens shall not drink thy new wine wherefore thou hast laboured. ⁹ But they that made it shall eat it and shall praise the LORD: and they that gathered it, shall drink it in the court of my holy temple.

²¹ They shall build houses, and dwell in them: they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

³ For lo, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that I will bring again the prisoners of my people of Israel and Judah, sayeth the LORD: For I will restore them unto the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall have it in possession."

¹⁸ "For thus sayeth the LORD: Behold, I will set up Jacob's tents again, and defend his dwelling place. The city shall be builded in her old estate, and their houses shall have their right foundation.

²³ For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: It will come thereto, that when I have brought Judah out of captivity, these words shall be heard in the land and in his cities, 'The LORD, which is the fair bridegroom of righteousness, make thee fruitful O thou holy hill!'

²⁸ Yea it shall come thereto, that like as I have gone about in times past to root them out, to scatter them, to break them down, to destroy them and chasten them: Even so will I also go diligently about, to build them up again, and to plant them, sayeth the LORD.

³⁸ Behold, the days come, sayeth the LORD, that the city of the LORD shall be enlarged from the tower of Hananel, unto the gate of the corner wall. ³⁹ From thence shall the right measure be taken before her unto the hill top of Gareb, and shall come about Golgotha ⁴⁰ and the whole valley of the dead carcasses, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron: and from thence unto the corner of the horse gate toward the East, whereas the Sanctuary of the LORD also shall be set. And when it is now builded, and set up of this fashion it shall never be broken, nor cast down anymore."

⁵³ As for their captivity, namely the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters: I will bring them again. So will I also bring again thy captivity among them:

²⁶ They shall dwell safely therein, build houses, and plant vineyards. Yea, safely shall they dwell therein, when I have punished all those that despise them round about: and then shall they know that I am the LORD their God.

³³ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD God: What time as I shall cleanse you from all your offenses, then will I make the cities to be occupied again, and will repair the places that be decayed. ³⁴ The desolate land shall be builded again, which afore time lay waste in the sight of all them that went by. ³⁵ Then shall it be said, 'This wasteland is become like a garden of pleasure, and the void, desolate and broken down cities are now strong, and fenced again.' ³⁶ Then the residue of the Heathen that lie round about you shall know that I am the LORD, which repair that was broken down, and plant again that was made waste. Even I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it indeed.

²⁵ They shall dwell in the land that I gave unto Jacob my servant, whereas your fathers also have dwelt. Yea even in the same land shall they, their children, and their children's children dwell for evermore: and my servant David shall be their everlasting prince. ²⁶ Moreover, I will make a bond of peace with them, which shall be unto them an everlasting covenant. I will settle them also, and multiply them; my Sanctuary will I set among them for evermore. ²⁷ My dwelling shall be with them, yea I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ²⁸ Thus the Heathen also shall know, that I the LORD am the holy maker of Israel: when my Sanctuary shall be among them for evermore.'"

²⁵ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Now will I bring again the captives of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and be jealous for my holy name's sake.

¹ For take heed: in those days and at the same time, when I turn again the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem, ² I shall gather all people together, and bring them into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And there will I reason with them: because of my people and heritage of Israel; whom they have scattered about in the nations, and parted my land.

¹¹ Forsomuch then as ye oppress the poor, and rob him of his best sustenance: therefore, where as ye have builded houses of square stone, ye shall not dwell in them. Marvelous pleasant vineyards shall ye plant; but the wine of them shall ye not drink. And why?

¹³ Their goods shall be spoiled, and their houses laid waste. They shall build houses, and not dwell in them: they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

²¹ Thy people shall be all godly and possess the land forever: the flower of my planting, the work of my hands whereof I will rejoice.

⁴¹ Yea I will have a lust and pleasure to do them good, and faithfully to plant them in this land, with my whole heart, and with all my soul.

²⁸ They shall no more be spoiled of the Heathen, nor devoured with the beasts of the land: but safely shall they dwell, and no man shall fray them.

²⁵ They shall dwell in the land that I gave unto Jacob my servant, whereas your fathers also have dwelt. Yea even in the same land shall they, their children, and their children's children dwell for evermore: and my servant David shall be their everlasting prince.

⁴ But every man shall sit under his vineyard and under his fig tree, and no man to fray him away: for the mouth of the LORD of Hosts hath spoken it.
