¹ The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁹ Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field, bring them to devour.

¹⁷ Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.
