4. यहाँ तक कि उनका सर्वोच्च काँटों की झाड़ी सा होता है। यहाँ तक कि उनका सर्वाच्च काँटों की झाड़ी से अधिक टेढ़ा होता है। तुम्हारे नबियों ने कहा था कि यह दिन आयेगा और तुम्हारे रखवालों का दिन आ पहुँचा है। अब तुमको दण्ड दिया जायेगा! तुम्हारी मति बिगड़ जायेगा!

HOV
4. उन में से जो सब से उत्तम है, जो सब से सीधा है, वह कांटे वाले बाड़े से भी बुरा है। तेरे पहरूओं का कहा हुआ दिन, अर्थात तेरे दण्ड का दिन आ गया है। अब वे शीघ्र चौंधिया जाएंगे।
