AUNQUE no será esta oscuridad tal como la aflicción que le vino en el tiempo que livianamente tocaron la primera vez á la tierra de Zabulón, y á la tierra de Nephtalí; y después cuando agravaron por la vía de la mar, de esa parte del Jordán, en Galilea de las gentes.

Pero ese tiempo de tinieblas y desesperación no será eterno. Aunque pronto la tierra de Zabulón y Neftalí caigan bajo el menosprecio y el castigo de Dios, en lo futuro estas mismas tierras, Galilea y Transjordania del norte, donde están los caminos que llevan al mar, se verán llenas de gloria.
