I shall set the throne of thy realm upon Israel without end, as I spake to David, thy father, and said, A man of thy kin shall not be taken away from the throne of Israel.

I shall do away Israel from the face of the land which I gave to them; and I shall cast away from my sight the temple, which I [have] hallowed to my name (and I shall throw away from my sight the Temple which I have dedicated, or consecrated, in honour of my name); and Israel shall be into a proverb and into a fable, to all peoples.
