²³ Further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land that I would send them wandering among the nations, driving them out among the countries;

³³ And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

¹⁵ And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;

⁵ And the angel which I saw taking his position on the sea and on the earth, put up his right hand to heaven,

⁶ And took his oath by him who is living for ever and ever, who made the heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there would be no more waiting:
