Hvarföre hafven J öfvergifvit den höga och heliga himmelen, hvilken varar i evighet, och beblandat eder med qvinnor; hafven befläckat eder med menniskornas döttrar, hafven tagit eder hustrur, hafven gjort lika som jordens barn och hafven aflat en ogudaktig afkomma?
|
Hvi hafven I lämnat den höga, heliga, eviga himmelen och sovit hos kvinnorna och orenat eder med människornas döttrar och tagit eder hustrur och gjort såsom jordens barn och födt jättesöner?
