YISRA EL EXILED
In the ninth year of Hoshea the sovereign of Ashshur captures Shomeron and exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and sets them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan and in the cities of the Madaim. 7 And so be it, the sons of Yisra El sin against Yah Veh their Elohim - who ascended them from the land of Misrayim from under the hand of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim - and they awe other elohim 8 which they work: and walk in the statutes of the goyim whom Yah Veh dispossessed from the face of the sons of Yisra El and from the sovereigns of Yisra El: 9 and the sons of Yisra El covertly work words that are not right against Yah Veh their Elohim: and they build bamahs in all their cities from the tower of the guards to the fortified city: 10 and they station monoliths and asherim in every high hill and under every green tree: 11 and incense there in all the bamahs as the goyim whom Yah Veh exiled from their face; and work evil words to vex Yah Veh: 12 and serve idols, whereof Yah Veh said to them, Work not this word! 13 And Yah Veh witnesses against Yisra El and against Yah Hudah, by the hand of all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways and guard my misvoth and my statutes, according to all the torah I misvahed your fathers - which I send to you by the hand of my servants the prophets. 14 And they hearken not, and harden their necks, as the neck of their fathers, who trusted not in Yah Veh their Elohim: 15 and they refuse his statutes and his covenant which he cut with their fathers and his witnesses which he witnessed against them; and they go after vanity and become vain and go after the goyim all around them - to whom Yah Veh misvahed to not work like them: 16 and they leave all the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim; and work moltens - two calves and work an asherah and prostrate to all the host of the heavens and serve Baal: 17 and they pass their sons and their daughters through the fire; and divine divination and prognostications and sell themselves to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh - to vex him. 18 So Yah Veh angers mightily at Yisra El and turns them aside from his face: none survive except only, the scion of Yah Hudah: 19 Yah Hudah also guards not the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim but walks in the statutes Yisra El works. 20 And Yah Veh refuses all the seed of Yisra El and humbles them; and gives them into the hand of plunderers until he casts them from his face: 21 for he rips Yisra El from the house of David; and they have Yarob Am the son of Nebat reign: and Yarob Am banishes Yisra El from going after Yah Veh and has them sin a great sin: 22 and the sons of Yisra El walk in all the sins Yarob Am works: they turn not aside from them; 23 until Yah Veh turns Yisra El aside from his face, as he worded by the hand of all his servants the prophets: thus Yisra El is exiled from their own soil to Ashshur to this day.
