And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel. 15For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people. 16And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
