Rh :And declareth unto man what is his thought,
 * That maketh the morning darkness,
 * And treadeth upon the high places of the earth,
 * The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name.


 * ye this word which I take up against you,
 * Even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
 * The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise:
 * She is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
 * For thus saith the Lord God;
 * The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred,
 * And that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten,
 * To the house of Israel.
 * For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel,
 * Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
 * But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal,
 * And pass not to Beer-sheba:
 * For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
 * And Beth-el shall come to nought.
 * Seek the Lord, and ye shall live;
 * Lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
 * And devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
 * Ye who turn judgment to wormwood,
 * And leave off righteousness in the earth,
