10:20 At that time 4 those left in Israel, those who remain of the family 5 of Jacob, will no longer rely on a foreign leader that abuses them. 6 Instead they will truly 7 rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 8
17:14 In the evening there is sudden terror; 9
by morning they vanish. 10
This is the fate of those who try to plunder us,
the destiny of those who try to loot us! 11
28:4 The withering flower, its beautiful splendor,
situated at the head of a rich valley,
will be like an early fig before harvest –
as soon as someone notices it,
he grabs it and swallows it. 12
