2And they all assembled in the valley of the Cedron.

3And I answered and said unto them: "Hear, O Israel, and I will speak to thee, And give ear, O seed of Jacob, and I will instruct thee.

4Forget not Zion, but hold in remembrance the anguish of Jerusalem.

5For lo! the days come, when everything that exists will become the prey of corruption and be as though it had not been.
