And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among many people, as a dewe from the Lord, and as the showres vpon the grasse, that waiteth not for man, nor hopeth in the sonnes of Adam.

And it shall come to passe in that day, sayth the Lord, that I will cut off thine horses out of the middes of thee, and I will destroy thy charets.

Thine idoles also will I cut off, and thine images out of the middes of thee: and thou shalt no more worship the woorke of thine hands.

And I wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.

And I will execute a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
