Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
