Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth.

And now, take care that you do not make sport of him, or your bands will be made strong; for I have had word from the Lord, the Lord of armies, of an end, of a complete end, which is to come on all the land.

Τωρα λοιπον μη ησθε χλευασται, δια να μη γεινωσι δυνατωτερα τα δεσμα σας· διοτι εγω ηκουσα παρα Κυριου του Θεου των δυναμεων συντελειαν και αποφασιν επι πασαν την γην.

Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
