⁴⁰ Lại có một nước thứ tư mạnh như sắt; vì sắt hay đập vỡ và bắt phục mọi vật, thì nước ấy cũng sẽ đập vỡ và nghiền nát như là sắt vậy.

²² Giê-hô-va, Ðức Chúa Trời toàn năng, Giê-hô-va, Ðức Chúa Trời toàn năng biết điều đó, và Y-sơ-ra-ên sẽ rõ! Nếu ấy là phản nghịch, nếu là bất trung cùng Ðức Giê-hô-va, thì ngày nay chớ cứu chúng tôi!

⁴ There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

⁵ He had a helmet of brass on his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.

⁶ He had brass shin armor on his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.

⁷ The staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and his shield bearer went before him.

⁸ He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

⁹ If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and serve us."

¹⁰ The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day! Give me a man, that we may fight together!"

¹¹ When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
