Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Þe hows of Jacob, þat ben clepid bi þe name of Israel, and yeden out of þe watris of Juda, here þese thingis, whiche sweren in þe name of þe Lord, and han mynde on God of Israel, not in treuþe, neþer in riytfulnesse.
