He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
يَدْخُلُ بَغْتَةً عَلَى أَسْمَنِ الْبِلاَدِ وَيَفْعَلُ مَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ آبَاؤُهُ وَلاَ آبَاءُ آبَائِهِ. يَبْذُرُ بَيْنَهُمْ نَهْبًا وَغَنِيمَةً وَغِنًى، وَيُفَكِّرُ أَفْكَارَهُ عَلَى الْحُصُونِ، وَذلِكَ إِلَى حِينٍ.
