וַיִּֽהְי֤וּ מַלְעִבִים֙ בְּמַלְאֲכֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וּבוֹזִ֣ים דְּבָרָ֔יו וּמִֽתַּעְתְּעִ֖ים בִּנְבִאָ֑יו עַ֠ד עֲל֧וֹת חֲמַת־יְהוָ֛ה בְּעַמּ֖וֹ עַד־לְאֵ֥ין מַרְפֵּֽא׃
Eles, porém, zombavam dos mensageiros de Deus, desprezando as suas palavras e mofando dos seus profetas, até que o furor do SENHOR subiu tanto contra o seu povo, que mais nenhum remédio houve.
Ecclesiastes
If the spirit [of judgment] of the Ruler arises against you, do not leave your place [i.e., do not abandon those good traits that you possess], for it [i.e., the suffering that comes upon you] attenuates your transgressions and lightens [your] grave sins.
