30:15. For thus saith the Lord God the Holy One of Israel: If you return
and be quiet, you shall be saved: in silence and in hope shall your
strength be. And you would not:

you flee. And we will mount upon swift ones: therefore shall they be
swifter that shall pursue after you.
30:17. A thousand men shall flee for fear of one: and for fear of five
shall you flee, till you be left as the mast of ship on the top of a
mountain, and as an ensign upon a hill.

therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God
of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

shalt not weep, he will surely have pity on thee: at the voice of thy
cry, as soon as he shall hear, he will answer thee.

not cause thy teacher to flee away from thee any more, and thy eyes
shall see thy teacher.

thy back: This is the way, walk ye in it: and go not aside neither to
the right hand, nor to the left.

and the garment of thy molten things of gold, and shalt cast them away
as the uncleanness of a menstruous woman. Thou shalt say to it: Get
thee hence.
30:23. And rain shall be given to thy seed, wheresoever thou shalt sow
in the land: and the bread of the corn of the land shall be most
plentiful, and fat. The lamb in that day shall feed at large in thy
possession:

mingled provender as it was winnowed in the floor.

elevated hill rivers of running waters in the day of the slaughter of
many, when the tower shall fall.
