²⁶ and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them -- gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them;

²⁷ and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book,

¹⁹ And now, O Jehovah our God, save us, we pray Thee, out of his hand, and know do all kingdoms of the earth that Thou `art' Jehovah God -- Thyself alone.'
