Verse 3. Therefore shall the Land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, yea the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. 4. Yet let no man strive; nor reprove another; for this people are as they that strive with the Priests. 5. Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the Prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no Priest to me: seeing thou hast forgot the Law of thy God, I will also forget thy Children.

YOU have heard that God in this Chapter commenceth a suit against the ten Tribes. He putteth in his Action, and he declareth, and then judgeth. The Articles of his Declaration or Charge against them we had some of them the last day. Hereupon Judgement is past, upon this Declaration, Therefore shall the land mourn.
