Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people; and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day: and there shall be nought in the power of thy hand.
Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine; for they shall go into captivity.
If ye will fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken unto his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, and both ye and also the king that reigneth over you be followers of Jehovah your God, (well):
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. (Selah)
