⁹ Deceitful is the heart above all things, and sick: who can know it? ¹⁰ I the Lord search the heart, probe the reins: yea, to give unto every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.

²⁸ Because he hath considered, and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.

⁶ On the same day I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them forth from the land of Egypt into a land that I had selected for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is an ornament among all the countries.

^{22 (2:24)} And the earth shall answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Yizre’el.

^{8 (12:9)} Did Ephraim say, I am certainly become rich, I have acquired substance unto myself: it is all through my labors; they will find no iniquity in me, that could be sin.

⁵ I myself did provide for thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

¹⁶ Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; because through them is his portion fat, and his food marrowy.

¹⁷ For the fig-tree doth not bud, and no fruit is on the vines; the productiveness of the olive deceiveth, and the fields yield no food; from the fold the flocks are cut off, and there are no herds in the stalls.

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s wrath; through the fire of whose zeal the whole land shall be devoured; for destruction, yea, quite sudden, will he prepare for all the inhabitants of the land.
