Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Zato ovako govori Jahve: "Vi me ne poslušaste da proglasite slobodu subratu svojemu i bližnjemu. I zato, evo, i ja proglašavam protiv vas slobodu - riječ je Jahvina - maču, kugi i gladi, i učinit ću vas strašilom svim kraljevstvima zemlje.
