¹⁴ Now, truly, the Lord will send a great destruction on your people and your children and your wives and everything which is yours:

⁵ You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;

²¹ And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

¹¹ Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.

¹⁶ For you have kept the laws of Omri and all the works of the family of Ahab, and you have been guided by their designs: so that I might make you a cause of wonder and your people a cause of hisses; and the shame of my people will be on you.
