be
the shame of thy lord's
house

opening
.

shall
shut, and none shall
open

him as
a nail in a sure
place ;

be
for a glorious
throne to his father's
house

off
hath
been
the burden that `is'
on
it ,
For Jehovah
hath spoken !'
In that day ,
saith
the
LORD
of hosts, shall
the nail that is fastened
in the
sure
place be
removed
, and
be
cut down, and fall;
and the burden that was
upon
it shall
be
cut
off:
for the
LORD
hath spoken it.
