Now as I was breakynge downe molberies, and goynge after the catell, 15 the LORDE toke me, & sayde vnto me: Go thy waye, and prophecy vnto my people of Israel. 16 And therfore, heare thou now the worde off the LORDE: Thou saiest: prophecy not agaynst Israel, and speake nothinge agaynst the house off Isaac. 17 Wherfore thus sayeth the LORDE: Thy wife shalbe defyled in ye cite, yi sonnes and doughters shalbe slayne with the swerde, and thy londe shalbe measured out with the lyne: Thou thy self shalt dye in an vnclene londe, and Israel shalbe dryuen out off his owne countre.
