¹ Kuulkaa Herran sana, te israelilaiset, sillä Herralla on oikeudenkäynti maan asukasten kanssa; sillä ei ole uskollisuutta, ei laupeutta eikä Jumalan tuntemusta maassa.

¹ Älä iloitse, Israel, älä riemuitse, niinkuin muut kansat, sillä sinä olet haureudessa luopunut Jumalastasi, olet rakastanut portonpalkkoja kaikilla viljan puimatanterilla.

²⁰ Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.

²¹ Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
