² Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy had said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

⁹ Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

⁸ But, the LORD liveth, who brought and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I have driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
