5. “Or let him take hold of My strength and make peace with Me. Let him make peace with Me!”
6. Those who come He causes to take root in Ya‛aqoḇ, Yisra’ĕl shall blossom and bud. And they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.

8. In measure, by sending her away, You contended with her. He shall take away by His rough wind in the day of the east wind.
