"I speak thus, for I know that in the latter days you will
fall off from God, and you will kindle the wrath of Levi, and
rise in rebellion against Judah, but you will not accomplish
aught against them, for the angel of the Lord is their guide,
and Israel will perish through them. And if you turn
recreant to the Lord, you will execute every kind of evil
thing, and do the abominations of the heathen, committing
unchastity with the wives of the godless, while the tempter
spirits are at work among you. Therefore you will be carried
away into captivity, and in the lands of exile you will suffer
all the plagues of Egypt and all the tribulations of the
heathen. But when you return to the Lord, you will find
mercy. He will take you into His sanctuary, and grant you
peace.
