As for those captive tribes, themselves were they "Who wrought their own captivity, fell off From God to worship calves, the deities Of Egypt, Baal next and Ashtaroth, And all th' idolatries of Heathen round, Besides their other worse than heath'nish crimes ; Nor in the land of their captivity Humbled themselves, or penitent besought The God of their forefathers ; but so died Impenitent, and left a race behind Like to themselves, distinguishabl...e scarce From Gentiles, but by circumcision vain, And God with idols to their worship join'd. Should I of these the liberty regard. Who freed as to their ancient patrimony, Unhumbled, unrepentant, unreform'd, Headlong would follow ; and to their gods pernapi Of Bethel and of Dan ? no, let them serve Their enemies who serve idols with God. Yet he at length, time to himself best known, Rememb'ring Abraham, by some wonderous call May bring them back repentent and sincere, And at their passing cleave th' Assyrian flood, While to their native land with joy they haste.
