6When you eat, and when you drink, do not you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7[Should you] not [hear] the words which Yahweh cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities of it round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?
