For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord’S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
