a“Ask now among the Gentiles,
Who has heard such things?
The virgin of Israel has done ba very horrible thing.
Which comes from the rock of the field?
Will the cold flowing waters be forsaken for strange waters?
They have burned incense to worthless idols.
And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways,
From the bancient paths,
To walk in pathways and not on a highway,
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.
cI will show them the back and not the face
In the day of their calamity.”
