| 14 | And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land. | Like a hunted gazelle, like a sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land. | And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land. |
