'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: If in My ways thou dost walk, And if My charge thou dost keep, Then also thou dost judge My house, And also thou dost keep My courts, And I have given to thee conductors among these standing by.
8 “‘Ka saurara, ya babban firist Yoshuwa, kai da abokanka da suke zaune a gabanka, ku da kuke alamun abubuwan da za su zo. Zan kawo bawana, wanda yake Reshe.

For lo, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone [are] seven eyes, Lo, I am graving its graving, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 “‘A wannan rana kowannenku zai gayyaci maƙwabcinsa yă zauna a ƙarƙashin itacen inabi da kuma na ɓaure,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.”
In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do call, each unto his neighbour, Unto the place of the vine, And unto the place of the fig-tree!'
