¶ Afflyccyon causeth a man to returne to God.
The wyckednes of the Prestes.
A In theyr aduersite they shall erlye seke
me, ∧ saye: come, let vs turne agayne
to the Lorde: note for he hath smyten
vs, and he shall heale vs: He hath wounded
vs, and he shall bynde vs vp agayne: after
two dayes shall he quycken vs, in the thyrde
daye he shall rayse vs vp, so that we shall lyue
in hys syght. Then shall we haue vnderst&abar;dynge,
∧ endeuoure oure selues to knowe
the Lorde.
B He shall go forth as the spryng of
the daye, ∧ come vnto vs note as the euenynge
and mornynge rayne vpon the earth.
O Ephraim, what shall I do vnto the? O
Iuda, howe shall I intreate the? seyng your
loue is lyke a mornyng cloude, ∧ lyke a dewe
þt; goeth early awaye.
C Therfore haue I cut
downe the Prophetes, and let th&ebar; be slayne
for my wordes sake: so that thy punishment
shall come to lyght. noteFor I haue pleasure in
louyng kyndnesse note and not in offringe: yee,
in the knowledge of God, more th&ebar; in burntsacrifyce.
But eu&ebar; lyke as note Ad&abar; dyd, so haue
they broken my couenaunt, and set me at
naught. &rhand; Gilead is a cite of wicked doers
of malycyous people ∧ bloudshedders. And
as theues armed wayte for him that passeth
by the waye: such is the councell of the prestes
whych with one agreed co&ubar;sell murther
cruelye suche as kepe the waye: ye they dare
do all vnspeakable myschefe. noteHorryble
-- --
thynges haue I sene in the house of Israel,
there playeth Ephraim the harlot, ∧ Israel
is defyled: yee and thou Iuda hepest an haruest
for thy selfe, when I returne the captyuitie
of my people.
