5And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.

6And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala, and Habor, by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.

7For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord, their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao, king of Egypt; and they worshipped strange gods.

8And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.

13And the Lord testified to them in Israel, and in Juda, by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.

14And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord, their God.

15And they rejected his ordinances, and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.

18And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.

3O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.

4Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.

5Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of sorrow.

12Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?

13Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.

12For the word of God is living and effectual and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow: and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

1Judge not, that you may not be judged.

2For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?

4Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?

5Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
