How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?H3389H3526H3820H7451H3467H205H4284H3885H7130 15For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.H6963H5046H1835H8085H205H2022H669 16Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.H2142H1471H8085H3389H5341H935H4801H776H5414H6963H5892H3063 17As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.H8104H7704H5439H4784H5002H3068 18Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.H1870H4611H6213H7451H4751H5060H3820 19My bowels, my bowels!
