but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto him, 'Nay', but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
Forsoþe to day ye han caste awei youre Lord God, which aloone sauyde you fro alle youre yuelis and tribulaciouns; and ye seiden, Nay, but ordeyne thou a kyng on vs. Now þerfor stonde ye bifor þe Lord bi youre lynagis, and bi meynees.
