37 "But behold, if a man shall come among you and shall say, ' Do this and there is no iniquity, do that and ye shall not suffer ' - Yea, he will say, ' Walk after the pride of your own hearts, yea, walk after the pride of your eyes and do whatsoever your heart desireth '-And if a man shall come among you and say this, Ye will receive him and ye will say that he is a prophet;

38 Yea, ye will lift him up and ye will give unto him of your substance - Ye will give unto him of your gold and of your silver, And ye will clothe him with costly apparel -

39 And because he speaketh flattering words unto you and he saith that all is well, And then ye will not find any fault with him.

40 "O ye wicked and ye perverse generation! Ye hardened and ye stiff-necked people! "How long will ye suppose that the Lord will suffer you? Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves to be led by foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather than light?

41 "Yea, behold, the anger of the Lord is already kindled against you! Behold, He hath cursed the land because of your iniquity; And behold, the time cometh that He curseth your riches; that it becometh slippery, that ye cannot hold them;

42 And in the days of your poverty, ye cannot retain them; And in the days of your poverty, ye shall cry unto the Lord; And in vain shall ye cry, For your desolation is already come upon you, And your destruction is made sure.

43 'And then shall ye weep and howl in that day, ' saith the Lord of Hosts.

44 "And then shall ye lament, and say: 'O that I had repented and had not killed the prophets and stoned them and cast them out! '

45 "Yea, in that day shall ye say: 'O that we had remembered the Lord our God in the day that He gave us our riches! And then they would not have become slippery, that we should lose them. 'For behold, our riches are gone from us-

46 Behold, we layeth a tool here and on the morrow it is gone; And behold, our swords are taken from us in the day we have sought them for battle;

47 Yea, we have hid up our treasures and they have slipped away from us because of the curse of the land.
