27. And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left a small company among the nations to which Jehovah will lead you.
28. And ye shall there serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29. And from thence ye shall seek Jehovah thy God and thou shalt find him, if thou shalt seek him with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul.
30. In thy tribulation, and when all these things shall come upon thee, at the end of days, thou shalt return to Jehovah thy God and shalt hearken to his voice,
31. --for Jehovah thy God is a merciful ·God --he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them.
32. For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been anything as this great thing is, or if anything hath been heard like it?
33. Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
