²¹ Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword they do fall.

²⁹ and also, the Pre-eminence of Israel doth not lie nor repent, for He [is] not a man to be penitent.'
