For before those days there were no wages for mankind made to exist; and as for the wages of domestic animals, there was no such thing; and to the one going out and to the one coming in there was no peace because of the adversary, as I kept thrusting all mankind against one another. ’ ” — Zechariah 8: 9, 10.
زیرا قبل از این ایّام مزدی برای انسان نبود و نه مزدی بجهة حیوان و بسبب دشمن برای هر که خروج و دخول میکرد هیچ سلامتی نبود و من همهٔ کسانرا بضدّ یکدیگر واداشتم .‏ » —‏ زکریا ۸ :‏ ۹ ،‏ ۱۰ .‏ ۵ ،‏ ۶ .‏
