²⁴ And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draweth nigh, and smiteth Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, `Where `is' this -- he hath passed over -- the Spirit of Jehovah -- from me to speak with thee?'

² and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth,

¹ Now gather thyself together, O daughter of troops, A siege he hath laid against us, With a rod they smite on the cheek the judge of Israel.

³⁰ He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.

²⁰ `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

¹⁸ if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;

¹⁹ And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

²⁰ and when they `had' mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

⁶⁵ and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, `Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.

⁴² `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'

⁶⁸ saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?'

³⁹ but I -- I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;

²⁶ Jehovah hath made thee priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for there being inspectors of the house of Jehovah, for every one mad and making himself a prophet, and thou hast put him unto the torture and unto the stocks.

²⁷ And now, why hast thou not pushed against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you?

¹⁰ And Hananiah the prophet taketh the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaketh it,

¹¹ And Hananiah speaketh before the eyes of all the people, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, Thus I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within two years of days, from off the neck of all the nations;' and Jeremiah the prophet goeth on his way.

⁵ The Lord Jehovah opened for me the ear, And I rebelled not -- backward I moved not.

⁶ My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not from shame and spitting.

²³ And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah cometh nigh, and smiteth Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, `Where `is' this -- the way the Spirit of Jehovah passed over from me to speak with thee?'

²⁴ And Micaiah saith, `Lo, thou dost see in that day, that thou dost enter into the innermost chamber to be hidden.'

¹¹ And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh for himself horns of iron, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, By these thou dost push the Aramaeans till they are consumed;'
