3  Judah is gone into ^acaptivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.

  3  The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

  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 forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
