הַשֹּׁלֵ֨חַ בַּיָּ֜ם צִירִ֗ים וּבִכְלֵי־גֹמֶא֮ עַל־פְּנֵי־מַיִם֒ לְכ֣וּ ׀ מַלְאָכִ֣ים קַלִּ֗ים אֶל־גּוֹי֙ מְמֻשָּׁ֣ךְ וּמוֹרָ֔ט אֶל־עַ֥ם נוֹרָ֖א מִן־ה֣וּא וָהָ֑לְאָה גּ֚וֹי קַו־קָ֣ו וּמְבוּסָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־בָּזְא֥וּ נְהָרִ֖ים אַרְצֽוֹ׃
Która wysyłasz morzem posłańców i w łodziach z sitowia po powierzchni wód! Idźcie posłowie szybcy do narodu rosłego i porywczego, do narodu strasznego, odkąd jest i nadal, do narodu równającego wszystko pod sznur zniszczenia, co to przerzynają strumienie kraj jego.
