- એકની ધમકીથી એક હજાર નાસી જશે; પાંચની ધમકીથી તમે બધા નાસી જશો અને તમે માત્ર પર્વત પરના ધ્વજદંડ જેવા અને ડુંગર પર નિશાનના જેવા થોડા જ રહી જશો.”
- हिन्दी — यशायाह ३०:१७
- एक ही की धमकी से एक हजार भागेंगे, और पाँच की धमकी से तुम ऐसा भागोगे कि अन्त में तुम पहाड़ की चोटी के डंडे या टीले के ऊपर की ध्वजा के समान रह जाओगे जो चिन्ह के लिये गाड़े जाते हैं।
In context
15For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,
16but you said, “No, for we will flee on horses;” therefore you will flee; and, “We will ride on the swift;” therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
17One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
18Therefore the LORD will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
19For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.
