⁶Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says Yahweh.

⁸For thus says Yahweh of Armies: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

⁸Lebo takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov: Po sláve ma poslal k národom, ktoré vás olupovaly; lebo ten, kto sa vás dotýka, dotýka sa zrenice jeho oka.

⁹For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.

¹¹Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

¹¹A mnohé národy sa pripoja k Hospodinovi toho dňa a budú mi ľudom, a budem bývať v tvojom strede, a zvieš, že Hospodin Zástupov ma poslal k tebe.

¹³Umĺkni, každé telo, pred tvárou Hospodinovou, lebo sa zobudil z príbytku svojej svätosti.
