Thus hath YY Elohim shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
I spake also to TZidkiyah-yahu king of Yhudah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Bavel, and serve him and his people, and live.
But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Bavel, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith YY ; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith YY -TZvaot, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
And TZidkiyah-yahu the son of Chenaanah made him shofars of iron: and he said, Thus saith YY , With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
