beast,

14:22. Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall
bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you,
and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be
comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all
things that I have brought upon it.

14:23. And they shall comfort you, when you shall see their ways, and
their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all
that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.

Ezechiel Chapter 15

As a vine cut down is fit for nothing but the fire; so it shall be with
Jerusalem, for her sins.

15:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

ingratitude and manifold disloyalties: but promiseth mercy by a new
covenant.

16:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

16:3. And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy
root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an

16:4. And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel was
