.. He has chosen Zion, and in righteous life.. And they did forget His precepts and did not seek them. And the land... hands in the midst of them and explained to them all the laws?.. all the earth so that there will be no more guilt in the land, nor will be... destruction and all hatred and the whole world will be like a moth. And all its inhabitants... And the land will be at rest for ever, And its inhabitants will.. And they will become a beloved son and they will seek all of it, and righteousness..
