5)That I may establish the oath which I swaore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, LORD.
6)The LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Yehudah, and in the streets of Yeshalayim, saying , Hear you the words of this covenant, and do them.

7)Shomron and her king float away, Like a twig on the water.
