Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are threescore and ten persons, rule over you, or that one rule over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

Say now in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem, Is it better for you to be ruled by all the seventy sons of Jerubbaal or by one man only? And keep in mind that I am your bone and your flesh.

Λαλησατε, παρακαλω, εις επηκοον παντων των ανδρων της Συχεμ, Τι ειναι καλητερον εις εσας, να αρχωσιν επανω σας παντες οι υιοι του Ιεροβααλ, εβδομηκοντα ανδρες, η να αρχη εις μονος επανω σας; και ενθυμηθητε οτι οστουν υμων και σαρξ υμων ειμαι.

Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
