not one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.

not one of them shall escape.

for evil and not for good.”

he who touches the earth and it melts,

and all of it rises like the Nile,
and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;

and all of it rises like the Nile,
and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
