It is no wonder that the prophet wrote: “I heard, and my belly began to be agitated; at the sound my lips quivered; rottenness began to enter into my bones; and in my situation I was agitated, that I should quietly wait for the day of distress, for his coming up to the people, that he may raid them. ”
Nāves bailes pārņēma mani, kaulos kļuva sajūtams ļenganums; es trīcēju visā savā ķermenī it kā savas bojā ejas stundā, bet man mierīgi ir jānogaida līdz nelaimes piemeklējuma dienai, kamēr pienāks klāt tā tauta, kas mums uzbruks. ” ( Habakuka 3: 16.)
