Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?

So the Lord of armies has said, See, I will make them soft in the fire and put them to the test; this I will do because of their evil-doing.

Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων· Ιδου, θελω βαλει αυτους εν χωνευτηριω και θελω δοκιμασει αυτους· διοτι πως θελω καμει ενεκεν της θυγατρος του λαου μου;

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
