^{6 Ref} He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

^{7 Ref} Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

^{8 Ref} In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

^{3 Ref} I, Jehovah, am its keeper, every moment I water it, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!

^{7 Ref} As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the slaying of his slain doth He slay?

^{8 Ref} In measure, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
