though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.
and þese thre men, þat ben bifore seid, ben þerynne, Y lyue, seith þe Lord God, for þei schulen nethir delyuere sones, neþer douytris, but þei aloone schulen be deliuered; forsoþe þe lond schal be maad desolat.
