You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so towards you.” > **4** For the children of Israel shall live many days without king, without prince, without sacrifice, without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols. > **5** Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days. --- ## Chapter 4 > **1** Hear the LORD’s word, you children of Israel,[object Object][object Object][object Object] > **2** [object Object][object Object] > **3** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **4** [object Object][object Object] > **5** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **6** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **7** [object Object][object Object] > **8** [object Object][object Object] > **9** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **10** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **11** [object Object] > **12** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **13** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **14** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **15** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **16** [object Object][object Object] > **17** [object Object][object Object] > **18** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **19** [object Object][object Object] --- ## Chapter 5 > **1** “Listen to this, you priests![object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **2** [object Object][object Object] > **3** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **4** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **5** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **6** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **7** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **8** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **9** [object Object][object Object] > **10** [object Object][object Object] > **11** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **12** [object Object][object Object] > **13** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **14** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] > **15** [object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] --- ## Chapter 6 > **1** “Come!
