Ary nahita toy ny volon'ny metaly mamirapiratra aho, dia hoatra ny tarehin'ny afo manodidina azy; ary hatramin'ny valahany no ho miakatra ka hatramin'ny valahany no ho midina dia hitako tahaka ny afo, ka nisy namirapiratra manodidina azy.Toy ny tarehin'avana amin'ny rahona amin'ny andro nisy ranon'orana no tarehin'ny namirapiratra manodidina. Izany no fijery ny endriky ny voninahitr'i Jehovah. Ary nony nahita izany aho, dia nikarapoka nihohoka ka nandre ny feon'ny anankiray niteny.
