⁷ Escape Zion! You who dwell with the daughter of Babylon should escape. ⁸ For thus says the Lord of hosts, “After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. ⁹ Behold! I will shake my hand (power) over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them. Then you will know that Jehovah of Hosts has sent me.
