9 Καὶ ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς ὄφιν χαλκοῦν, καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σημείου· καὶ ἐγένετο ὅταν ἔδακνεν ὄφις ἄνθρωπον, καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν ὄφιν τὸν χαλκοῦν, καὶ ἔζη.
Αὐτὸς ἐξῆρε τὰ ὑψηλὰ, καὶ συνέτριψε τὰς στήλας, καὶ ἐξωλέθρευσε τὰ ἄλση, καὶ τὸν ὄφιν τὸν χαλκοῦν ὃν ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς, ὅτι ἕως τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων ἦσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ θυμιῶντες αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Νεεσθάν.
Ἐπιστράφητε ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ σωθήσεσθε, οἱ ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλος.
Καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλὴμ πνεῦμα χάριτος καὶ οἰκτιρμοῦ· καὶ ἐπιβλέψονται πρὸς μὲ, ἀνθʼ ὧν κατωρχήσαντο· καὶ κόψονται ἐπʼ αὐτὸν κοπετὸν, ὡς ἐπʼ ἀγαπητῷ, καὶ ὀδυνηθήσονται ὀδύνην, ὡς ἐπὶ τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ.
