11 H4481 Also H7761 [H8752] I have made H2942 a decree H3606 H606 , that whoever H8133 [H8681] shall alter H1836 this H6600 word H636 , let timber H5256 [H8725] be pulled down H4481 from H1005 his house H2211 [H8752] , and being set up H4223 [H8725] , let him be hanged H5922 on it H1005 ; and let his house H5648 [H8725] be made H5122 a dunghill H5922 for H1836 this.

12 H426 And the God H8036 that hath caused his name H7932 [H8745] to dwell H8536 there H4049 [H8741] destroy H3606 all H4430 kings H5972 and people H7972 H3028 [H8748] , that shall try H8133 [H8682] to alter H2255 [H8742] the decree and to destroy H1791 this H1005 house H426 of God H3390 which is at Jerusalem H576 .
