Totuş, aşa vorbeşte Domnul, Dumnezeul oştirilor: ,,Poporul Meu, care locuieşte în Sion, nu te teme de Asirian; da, el te loveşte cu nuiaua, şi îşi ridică toiagul asupra ta, cum făceau Egiptenii.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
