And I fed the flock of slaughter, the truly poor of the flock. And I took two staffs for Myself: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bonds. And I fed the flock.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.

And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yea, establish the work of our hands.

As for the beauty of His ornaments, He set it in majesty; but they made from it the images of their abominations; their detestable things; therefore I have made it like refuse to them.

I will turn My face from them, and they will defile My secret place; for violent ones shall enter it and defile it.

Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane My sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword.

And after sixty two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of a coming ruler shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end shall be with a flood, and desolations are determined, and there shall be war until the end.

And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,

As for these things which you see; the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.

Truly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.

They also set up false witnesses who said, This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law;

for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, is Christ, being God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your iniquities one year; forty years; and you shall know My opposition.

Therefore Jehovah the God of Israel says: I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now Jehovah says: Far be it from Me! For those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.

You have spurned the covenant of Your servant; You have dishonored his crown on the ground.

Do not abhor us; for Your name's sake do not disgrace the throne of Your glory; remember, do not break Your covenant with us.

Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,

not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Jehovah.

For thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

Then He said, Call his name Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I will not be your God.

Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, And to seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to your Seed, who is Christ.

For if the inheritance is of the Law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

For He testifies: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

For the Law made nothing perfect, but a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

(for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: The Lord has sworn and will not repent, You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek),

Because finding fault with them, He says: Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant, and bring fulfillment to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah;

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will give My Laws into their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will by no means remember any longer.
