How can I pardon thee? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots’ houses;

How is it possible for you to have my forgiveness for this? your children have given me up, taking their oaths by those who are no gods: when I had given them food in full measure, they were false to their wives, taking their pleasure in the houses of loose women.

Πως θελω συγχωρησει εις σε δια τουτο; οι υιοι σου με εγκατελιπον και ωμνυον εις τους μη θεους· αφου εχορτασα αυτους, τοτε εμοιχευον και συνεσωρευοντο εις οικον πορνης.

How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
