5 Therefore, thou hast no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of Jehovah.

9 The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age.
Isin dubartoota saba kootii manneen isaanii babbareedoo keessaa ariitu. Eebba koos bara baraan ijoollee isaanii irraa fudhattu.
10 Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it doth corrupt, And corruption is powerful.
