Jao zemlji krilatih kukaca s one strane rijeka kuških, tebi koja šalješ morem glasnike i vodom u čamcima rogoznim. Idite, brze skoroteče, k narodu stasitu, tamnoputu, k narodu kog se boje odvajkada, narodu žilavu, zavojevaču, čija je zemlja rijekama izbrazdana. Svi stanovnici kruga zemaljskoga, i vi, žitelji zemlje, kad se zastava na brdu digne, gledajte; kad rog zatrubi, slušajte. Jer ovako mi govori Jahve: “Mirno ću gledati s mjesta svojega, k'o prozirna žega podnevna, k'o rosan oblak za vrućine žetvene. Prije berbe, kad loza ocvate i cvijet u grozdove dozri, nožima će posjeći mladice, povezati, ukloniti grane. Svi će biti ostavljeni grabljivicama gorskim i zvijerima zemaljskim. Grabljivice će na njima ljetovati, zvijeri zemaljske zimovati.” U ono će vrijeme narod stasit i tamnoputan, narod kojega se boje odvajkada, narod žilav i zavojevački, čija je zemlja izbrazdana rijekama, donositi darove Jahvi nad Vojskama, k mjestu imena Jahve nad Vojskama - na goru Sion.
