Thus said Jehovah: Write ye this man childless, A man -- he doth not prosper in his days, For none of his seed doth prosper, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling again in Judah!

'And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.

And a man who taketh his brother's wife -- it is impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.

For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless -- without man, Surely also, woe to them, when I turn aside from them.
