¹² I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.

²³ and she conceiveth and beareth a son, and saith, `God hath gathered up my reproach;'

¹⁷ And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

¹² and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

²² because these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all things that have been written.

²⁵ `Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon `me', to take away my reproach among men.'

⁷ In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,

²⁰ And it hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.

²⁵ For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle.

²⁶ And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!

¹¹ The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

⁶ and her adversity hath also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for Jehovah hath shut up her womb.
