2:5  Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
2:6  “Prophesy ye not,” say they to them that prophesy: “They shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not suffer shame.”
2:7  Oh thou that art named the house of Jacob: Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened? Are these His doings? Do not My words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

2:12  “I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold; and they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
2:13  The Breaker has come up before them; they have broken forth and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.”
