And it shall come to pass, when ye shall be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The (q) ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss [it]; neither shall [that] be done any more.
(q) This is to be understood of the coming of Christ: for then they will not seek the Lord by ceremonies, and all figures will cease.
