7Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Yahweh straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?
8But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: you strip the robe from off the garment from those who pass by securely [as men] returned from war.
9The women of my people you cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my glory forever.
10Arise you, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood do lie, [saying], I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
13The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and Yahweh at the head of them.
