2. Wherefore you convictest by little and little them that fall from the right way, And, putting them in remembrance by the very things wherein they sin, do you admonish them, That escaping from their wickedness they may believe on you, O Lord.

4. Hating them because they practised detestable works of enchantments and unholy rites
5. (Merciless slaughters of children, And sacrificial banquets of men’s flesh and of blood),
6. Confederates in an impious fellowship, And murderers of their own helpless babes, It was your counsel to destroy by the hands of our fathers;
