¹⁷ And Mine eye hath pity on them -- against destroying them, And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness.

¹³ And it cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry -- a loud voice -- and say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art making of the remnant of Israel.'

¹⁸ And even in those days, an affirmation of Jehovah, I do not make you a completion.

²⁷ For thus said Jehovah: All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not.

⁸ And with a flood passing over, An end He maketh of its place, And His enemies doth darkness pursue.

⁹ What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making, arise not twice doth distress.

¹⁰ And I also, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare; their way on their own head I have put.'

¹⁸ And I also deal in fury, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare, and they have cried in Mine ears -- a loud voice -- and I do not hear them.'

² An end, come hath the end on the four corners of the land.

³⁷ And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.

³⁸ And He -- the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.

¹⁹ and Thou, in Thine abundant mercies, hast not forsaken them in the wilderness -- the pillar of the cloud hath not turned aside from off them by day, to lead them in the way, and the pillar of the fire by night, to give light to them and the way in which they go.

¹⁰ Lo, this day have thine eyes seen how that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and `one' said to slay thee, and `mine eye' hath pity on thee, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for the anointed of Jehovah he `is'.
