12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, [a]where I set my Name at the beginning, and behold, what I did to it for the wickedness, of my people Israel.

13 Therefore now because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, (and I [b]rose up early and spake unto you: but when I spake, ye would not hear me, neither when I called, would [c]ye answer.)

14 Therefore will I do unto this house, whereupon my Name is called, wherein also ye trust, even unto the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, as I have done unto Shiloh.

15 And I will cast [d]you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
