| 7:15 | And I shal thrust you out of my syght, as I ha e cast out all youre brethren the whole sede of Ephraim. |
| 7:16 | Therfore, thou shalt not praye for thys people, thou shalt nether geue thanckes, nor byd prayer for them: thou shalt make no intercession to me for them, for in no wyse wyll I heare the. |

| 7:23 | but this I commaunded them, sayinge: herken & obeye my voyce, and I shalbe youre God, and ye shall be my people: so that ye walcke in all the wayes, whych I haue commaunded you, that ye maye prospere. |
| 7:24 | But they were not obedient, they inclyned not theyr eares there vnto, but went after theyr awne ymagynacyons & after the mocyons of theyr awne wycked herte, & so turned them selues awaye, and conuerted not vnto me. |
| 7:25 | And this haue they done, from the tyme that youre fathers came out of Egypt, vnto thys daye. Neuertheles, I sent vnto you, all my seruauntes the prophetes. I rose vp early, & sent you worde, |
| 7:26 | yet wolde they not herken, ner offre me theyr eares, but were obstynate, & worse then theyr fathers. |

| 7:29 | Wherfore cut of thyne hearre O Ierusalem, & cast it awaye, take vp a complaynte on hye, for the Lord hath cast awaye, and scatred the people that he is displeased withall. |
| 7:30 | For the chyldren of Iuda haue done euell in my syght, sayeth the Lord. They haue set vp theyr abhominacyons, in the house that hath my name, and haue defyled it. |
| 7:31 | They haue also buylded an aulter at Topheth, which is in the valley of the chyldren of Hennom: that they myght burne theyr sonnes & daughters in fyre, which I neuer commaunded them, nether came it euer in my thought. |
| 7:32 | And therfore beholde, the dayes shall come (sayeth the Lorde) that it shall nomore be called Topheth, or the valley of the chyldren of Hennom, but the valley of slaughter, for in Topheth, they shalbe buried, because they shall els haue no rowme. |
