Because tender was thy heart, and thou didst humble thyself before God when thou heardest his words against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, and didst humble thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes and weep before me, therefore, I also, have heard, is the declaration of Yahweh.

28 look! I to gather you to(wards) father your and to gather to(wards) grave your in/on/with peace and not to see: see eye your in/on/with all [the] distress: harm which I to come (in): bring upon [the] place [the] this and upon to dwell his and to return: return [obj] [the] king word
