23 Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish:
24 For they are they who are the whore of all the earth;
25 For they who are not for me, are against me, saith our God.
26 For I will fulfill my promises which I have made unto the children of men, that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh.
27 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, thus saith our God: I will afflict thy seed by the hand of the Gentiles;
28 Nevertheless, I will soften the hearts of the Gentiles, that they shall be like unto a father to them;
29 Wherefore, the Gentiles shall be blessed and numbered among the house of Israel.
30 Wherefore, I will consecrate this land unto thy seed, and they who shall be numbered among thy seed, for ever, for the land of their inheritance:
31 For it is a choice land, saith God unto me, above all other lands;
32 Wherefore, I will have all men that dwell thereon, that they shall worship me, saith God.
33 And now, my beloved brethren, seeing that our merciful God has given us so great knowledge concerning these things, let us remember him, and lay aside our sins, and not hang down our heads, for we are not cast off;
