I am of the peaceful, faithful ones of Israel. You are seeking to cause to die a city, and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?
On account of this the Jews of the villages who lived in the unwalled villages made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and a day of sending portions, a man to his neighbor.
And kings shall be supporting you, and their princesses ones nursing you. They shall bow to you, faces down to the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet. And you shall know that I am Jehovah, by whom they who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.
