Yes, when that day comes, ADONAI will whistle for the fly in the farthest streams of the Nile in Egypt and for the bee in the land of Ashur.

Wrap up this document, and confine its teaching to those I have instructed."

I will wait for ADONAI, who is hiding his face from the house of Ya'akov; yes, I will look for him.
