And in their stumbling, they are helped -- a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.

In that day cover over doth Jehovah the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them hath been in that day as David, And the house of David as God -- As a messenger of Jehovah -- before them.
