6.  And  behold,  the  city  of  Gilgal  have  I  caused  to  be
sunk,  and  the  inhabitants  thereof  to  be  buried  up  in  the
depths  of  the  earth ;

7.  Yea,  and  the  city  of  Onihah,  and  the  inhabitants
thereof,  and  the  city  of  Mocum,  and  the  inhabitants  thereof,
and  the  'city  of  Jerusalem,  and  the  inhabitants  thereof,  and
waters  have  I  caused  to  come  up  in  the  stead  thereof,  to  hide
their  wickedness  and  abominations  from  before  my  face,
that  the  blood  of  the  prophets  and  the  saints  shall  not  come
up  any  more  unto  me  against  them.
8.  And  behold,  the  city  of  Gadiandi,  and  the  city  of
Gadiomnah,  and  the  city  of  Jacob,  and  the  city  of  Gimgimno,
all  these  have  I  caused  to  be  sunk,  and  made  ^hiUs  and
valleys  in  the  places  thereof,  and  the  inhabitants  thereof
have  I  buried  up  in  the  depths  of  the  earth,  to  hide  their
wickedness  and  abominations  from  before  my  face,  that  the
blood  of  the  prophets  and  the  saints  should  not  come  up  any
more  unto  me  against  them.
9.  And  behold,  that  great  city  Jaxsobugath,  which  was
inhabited  by  the  people  of  the  king  of  Jacob,  have  I  caused
to  be  turned  with  fire,  because  of  their  sins  and  their
wickedness,  which  was  above  all  the  wickedness  of  the
whole  earth,  because  of  their  -^secret  murders  and  combina-
tions ;  for  it  was  they  that  did  destroy  the  *peace  of  my
people  and  the  government  of  the  land  :  therefore  I  did  cause
them  to  be  burned,  to  destroy  them  from  before  my  face,  that
the  'blood  of  the  prophets  and  the  saints  should  not  come  up
unto  me  any  more  against  them.
