And mine anger (ball be kindled a- 17 gainft thé in that day,& I will forfake them, and will hide my face from them , and they Thal be devoured,and many evils and diftref fes (hall finde them; and they will fay in that day, have not thefe evils found us , becaufe our God is not amongft us. And I, hiding will hide my face in that day for all the evils which they !hall have done, in that they are turned unto other gods. And nowwrite ye this Fong for you,& teach it the tons of Ifra- el,put it in their mouthes,that this long may be a witnes for me againft the Ions of Ifrael.

And it a1 (hall be when many evils and diftreffes have found th é, that titis Fong (hall anfwer before them for a witnes, for it (hall not be forgot- tenout of the mouth oftheirfeed:for I know their imagination which they doe this day, before I have brought them in unto the land which I (ware.
