27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity [01540] beyond [01973] Damascus [01834], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], whose name [08034] is The God [0430] of hosts [06635].
25 Have ye offered [05066] unto me sacrifices [02077] and offerings [04503] in the wilderness [04057] forty [0705] years [08141], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]?
