They have revolted and departed.

They do not say in their heart, 'Let us now fear the Lord our God....

"He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
He who despises the gain of oppressions,

Hebrews 10:29

“For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.
