Men engang skal der ikke længer være Mørke i det Land, hvor der nu er Trængsel; i Fortiden bragte han Skændsel over Zebulons og Naftalis Land, Men i Fremtiden bringer han Ære over Vejen langs Søen, Landet hinsides Jordan, Hedningernes Kreds.
2 The people which walk in the darkness they will see a light great [those who] dwell in a land of deep darkness a light it will shine on them.

Syrerne forfra, Filisterne bagfra, de æder Israel med opspilet Gab. Men trods alt har hans Vrede ej lagt sig, hans Haand er fremdeles rakt ud.

Da hugger HERREN Hoved og Hale af Israel, Palme og Siv paa en eneste Dag.
