ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

ወጾላዕኪ፡ ቤተ፡ ሳኦል፡ እስመ፡ አምፅዓኒ፡ በእንተ፡ ዘተዓደወ፡ ካልየ።
And I despised the house of Saul, because he provoked Me by transgressing My word.
And likewise those who do not keep My word and do not walk in My law and in My ordinance, I will take away from them My gift and My kingdom from their seed for ever.
And I repent, that I will not again exalt them, except that I will destroy them; for when I exalted them, they did not exalt Me, and when I honoured them, they did not honour Me.
For I made them head over all, and they did not make Me head over them; and when I honoured them above all, they did not honour Me, and did not keep My commandment.
And I too have taken back the gift which I gave them, and I will not give it back to them, according as I swore in My wrath; and him who honours Me I will honour, and him who loves Me I will delight; thus says the Lord who rules over all.
For I am the Lord who judges all, and there is none that escapes out of My hand, in the heaven above nor in the earth beneath; for I am the Lord who kills and makes alive, who smites and shows mercy.
