Therefore, O lord and governor, respect not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, except they sin against their God.
So, my lord and master, do not disregard what he said, but keep it in mind, for it is true — our nation cannot be defeated, nor can the sword prevail against them, unless they sin against their God.
