You have not as it were forsaken me, but your own selves, says Yah-Who-Ah. Thus says the Almighty Yah-Who-Ah, Have I not prayed you as a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and a nurse her young babes, That you would be my people, and I should be your Elohim; that you would be my children, and I should be your father? I gathered you together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings: but now, what shall I do unto you? I will cast you out from my face. When you offer unto me, I will turn my face from you: for your solemn feastdays, your new moons, and your circumcisions, have I forsaken. I sent unto you my servants the prophets, whom you have taken and slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands, says Yah-Who-Ah. Thus says the Almighty Yah-Who-Ah, Your house is desolate, I will cast you out as the wind does stubble. And your children shall not be fruitful; for they have despised my commandment, and done the thing that is an evil before me. Your houses will I give to a people that shall come; which not having heard of me yet shall believe me; to whom I have shewed no signs, yet they shall do that I have commanded them. They have seen no prophets, yet they shall call their sins to remembrance, and acknowledge them. I take to witness the grace of the people to come, whose little ones rejoice in gladness: and though they have not seen me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe the thing that I say. And now, brother, behold what glory; and see the people that come from the east: Unto whom I will give for leaders, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Oseas, Amos, and Micheas, Joel, Abdias, and Jonas, Nahum, and Abacuc, Sophonias, Aggeus, Zachary, and Malachy, which is called also an angel of Yah-Who-Ah.
