⁷ For from the days of your fathers you have departed from my ordinances, and have not kept them: Return to me, and I will Return to you, saith the Lord of hosts. And you have said: Wherein shall we Return?

² If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will send poverty upon you, and will curse your blessings, yea I will curse them, because you have not laid it to heart.
