அப்பொழுது தாவீது: உம்முடைய கண்களில் எனக்குத் தயைகிடைத்தது என்று உம்முடைய தகப்பன் நன்றாய் அறிவார்; ஆகையால் யோனத்தானுக்கு மனநோவு உண்டாகாதபடிக்கு அவன் இதை அறியப்போகாது என்பார்; மரணத்திற்கும் எனக்கும் ஒரு அடி தூரமாத்திரம் இருக்கிறது என்று கர்த்தருடைய ஜீவனையும் உம்முடைய ஜீவனையும் கொண்டு நிச்சயமாய்ச் சொல்லுகிறேன் என்று மறுமொழி சொல்லி ஆணையிட்டான்.
