³⁵ all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it.

⁵ And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.

⁶ Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.

²² for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.
