And all the sons of Israel go up, even all the people, and come in to Beth-El, and weep, and sit there before Jehovah, and fast on that day till the evening, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.

And the sons of Israel ask of Jehovah, -- and there [is] the ark of the covenant of God in those days,

If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and sought God earnestly,

And -- they deceive Him with their mouth, And with their tongue do lie to Him,

I go -- I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'
