In Context

3And it has been, when one prophesies again, || That his parents, his father and his mother, || Have said to him, You do not live, || For you have spoken falsehood in the Name of YHWH, || And his father and his mother, his parents, || Have pierced him through in his prophesying.

5And [one] has said, I am not a prophet, || A man—I am a tiller of ground, || For ground [is] my possession from my youth.
