²⁶^eAnd ^fI will cast thee out, and ^gthy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. ²⁷But to the land whereunto they ^†desire to return, ^hthither shall they not return. ²⁸Is this man ^aConiah a despised broken idol? is he ⁱa vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they ^kcast out, he and his seed, and are ^ecast into ^la land which they know not?
