12 der de vare en liden Hob, faa og fremmede deri;
Though they may have been but a small number, very few and foreigners there,
13 og de vandrede fra Folk til Folk, fra et Rige til et andet Folkefærd.
and though they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
14 Han tillod intet Menneske at gøre dem Vold og revsede Konger for deres Skyld:

22 at han kunde binde hans Fyrster efter sin Villie og lære hans Ældste Visdom.
