An Invasion From The North

23 And this people hath an apostate and rebellious heart, They have turned aside, and they go on. 24 And they have not said in their heart, 'Let us fear, we pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest He keepeth for us.' 25 Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.
