⁵ Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

⁴ Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

⁹ Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

²⁵ For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

¹⁹ And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

¹⁷ Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

² And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

³ The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
