ar: he shall not save
them from tribulation.

46:8. Remember this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors, to the
heart.

46:9. Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside,
neither is there the like to me:

46:10. Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and
from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My
counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done:

46:11. Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country the man of
my own will, and I have spoken, and will bring it to pass: I have
created, and I will do it. Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from
justice.

46:12. I have brought my justice near, it shall not be afar off: and my
salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation in Sion, and my glory
in Israel.

47:8. And now hear these things, thou that art delicate, and dwellest

47:9. These two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day,
barrenness and widowhood. All things are come upon thee, because of the
multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great hardness of thy
