Context
15Thy soul covered the whole earth, and thou filledst it with dark parables.
16Thy name went far unto the islands; and for thy peace thou wast beloved.
17The countries marvelled at thee for thy songs, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations.
18By the name of the Lord God, which is called the Lord God of Israel, thou didst gather gold as tin and didst multiply silver as lead.
19Thou didst bow thy loins unto women, and by thy body thou wast brought into subjection.
20Thou didst stain thy honour, and pollute thy seed: so that thou broughtest wrath upon thy children, and wast grieved for thy folly.
21So the kingdom was divided, and out of Ephraim ruled a rebellious kingdom.
