Thus saith Jehovah: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.

These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.

Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Καθως ο ποιμην αποσπα απο του στοματος του λεοντος δυο σκελη η λοβον ωτιου, ουτω θελουσιν αποσπασθη οι υιοι Ισραηλ, οι κατοικουντες εν Σαμαρεια απο της γωνιας της κλινης και εν Δαμασκω απο της στρωμνης.

Thus saith the Lord; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
