Versliste
What hath my beloved to do in my house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness {The text is obscure. The Septuagint has Shall vows and holy flesh take away from thee thy wickednesses, or shall thou escape by these?}with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? {Or, when thine evil cometh}when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
Jehovah called thy name, A green olive-tree, fair with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
For Jehovah of hosts, who planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense unto Baal.

When ye come {Or, as otherwisw read, to see my face}to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine: {Or, his memorial}the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
