And it came to pass after many days that the LORD said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the waistband from there, which I commanded you to hide there.
Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the waistband from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the waistband was spoiled, it was good for nothing.
Then I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them what looked like a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has never been the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
