²⁷ And the Lord said, “I will remove Judah also out of my sight, ^(A)as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, ^(B)and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.”

^13 (A)And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria, and the plumb line of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

¹¹ The king of Assyria carried the Israelites away to Assyria and put them in ^(A)Halah, and on the ^(B)Habor, ^(C)the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,

²⁴ “Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight.

^4 (A)And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, ^(B)“In Jerusalem will I put my name.”

²⁰ And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them ^(A)and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

¹⁸ Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but ^(A)the tribe of Judah only.

³² Thus says the Lord God:

for I have spoken, declares the Lord God. ³⁵ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because ^(E)you have forgotten me and ^(F)cast me behind your back, you yourself ^(G)must bear the consequences of your lewdness and whoring.”
