ÅB

Og fienden fra Norden vil jeg drive langt bort fra dere og jage ham avsted til et tørt og øde land, hans fortropp til havet i øst og hans baktropp til havet i vest; og det skal stige opp en stank fra ham, en motbydelig lukt; for altfor store ting har han tatt seg fore.

“Jeg vil drive den nordlige hæren langt bort fra dere,
presse den inn i et tørt og øde land;

og dens baktropp inn i det vestlige havet.
Dens stank vil stige opp, dens lukt vil stige.”
Sannelig, han har gjort store ting!
