Escape to Zion, you that live with daughter Babylon.H4422H1945H6726H3427H1323H8948For thus said the LORD of hosts (after his glory sent me) regarding the nations that plundered you: Truly, one who touches you touches the apple of my eye.H559H3068H6635H310H3519H7971H1471H7997H5060H5060H892H58699See now, I am going to raise my hand against them, and they shall become plunder for their own slaves.
