against°

your necks;°
neither°
shall ye go°°°
haughtily:°
for°
this°
time°
[is] evil.° |

spoiled:°°

he hath divided°°
our fields.° |

his doings?°
do not°
my words°
do good°°
to°
him that walketh°°
uprightly?° |

it shall destroy°°
[you], even with a sore°°
destruction.° |

the prophet°°
of this°
people.° |

as the flock°
in the midst°
of their fold:°
they shall make great noise°°
by reason of [the multitude of] men.°° |

on the head°
of them. |
