this unto thyself, in that thou hast

Egypt

the

@ Thine own
wickedness
shall
correct
thee, and thy

shall
reprove
thee:
know
therefore and

that it is an
evil
thing and
bitter
, that thou hast
forsaken

@ For of old
time
I have
broken
thy
yoke

burst
thy

transgress

green
tree
thou
wanderest

thee a noble

Withhold
thy
