²⁴ The wrath of the Lord will not be turned back till he has done, till he has put into effect, the purposes of his heart: in days to come you will have full knowledge of this.

⁶ But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.

¹ And Jacob sent for his sons, and said, Come together, all of you, so that I may give you news of your fate in future times.

¹⁴ For this is what the Lord of armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:

¹⁵ So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.

⁴ For the children of Israel will for a long time be without king and without ruler, without offerings and without pillars, and without ephod or images.

⁵ And after that, the children of Israel will come back and go in search of the Lord their God and David their king; and they will come in fear to the Lord and to his mercies in the days to come.

¹¹ So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.

¹² And you will say, How was teaching hated by me, and my heart put no value on training;

¹⁴ I was in almost all evil in the company of the people.

²⁶ But still the heat of the Lord's wrath was not turned back from Judah, because of all Manasseh had done in moving him to wrath.

⁴⁷ And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, and are turned again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;

²⁹ For I am certain that after my death you will give yourselves up to sin, wandering from the way which I have given you; and evil will overtake you in the end, because you will do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of your hands.

³⁰ Then in the hearing of all the meeting of Israel, Moses said the words of this song, to the end.
