Still the prophetic curse takes place:
We see the once-peculiar race
Like sifted chaff dispers’d and driven
Thro’ every nation under heaven!
But lo, we now the promise plead
For every Israelite indeed:
And when the nation owns thy call,
Thy mercy, Lord, shall save them all.
Still the prophetic curse takes place
