9. Mark the waters, that they flow together

‹ Section 8 Section 10 ›

,

and

sweep

along

stones

,

trees

,

sand

;

but

if

they

are

divided

into

many

streams

,

the

earth

sucketh

them

up

,

and

they

become

of

no

account

.

So

also

shall

ye

be

if

ye

be

divided

.

Divide

not

yourselves

into

two

heads

,

for

everything

which

the

Lord

made

hath

but

one

head

;

He

gave

two

shoulders

,

hands

,

feet

,

but

all

the

members

are

subject

unto

the

one

head

.

I

have

learnt

by

the

writing

of

my

fathers

,

that

in

the

last

days

ye

will

depart

from

the

Lord

,

and

be

divided

in

Israel

,

and

ye

will

follow

two

kings

,

and

will

work

every

abomination

,

and

every

idol

will

ye

worship

,

and

your

enemies

shall

lead

you

captive

,

and

ye

shall

dwell

among

the

nations

with

all

infirmities

and

tribulations

and

anguish

of

soul

.

And

after

these

things

ye

will

remember

the

Lord

,

and

will

repent

,

and

He

will

lead

you

back

;

for

He

is

merciful

and

full

of

compassion

,

not

imputing

evil

to

the

sons

of

men

,

because

they

are

flesh

,

and

the

spirits

of

error

deceive

them

in

all

their

doings

.

And

after

these

things

shall

the

Lord

Himself

arise

to

you

,

the

Light

of

righteousness

,

and

healing

and

compassion

shall

be

upon

His

wings

.

He

shall

redeem

all

captivity

of

the

sons

of

men

from

Beliar

,

and

every

spirit

of

error

shall

be

trodden

down

.

And

He

shall

bring

back

all

the

nations

to

zeal

for

Him

,

and

ye

shall

see

God

in

the

fashion

of

a

man

whom

the

Lord

shall

choose

,

Jerusalem

is

His

name

.

And

again

with

the

wickedness

of

your

words

will

ye

provoke

Him

to

anger

,

and

ye

shall

be

cast

away

,

even

unto

the

time

of

consummation

.
