20 Je tirerai trois flèches du côté de la pierre, comme si je visais un but.

21 Et voici, j’enverrai un jeune homme, et je lui dirai: Va, trouve les flèches. Si je lui dis: Voici, les flèches sont en deçà de toi, prends-les! Alors viens, car il y a paix pour toi, et tu n’as rien à craindre, l’Éternel est vivant!

22 Mais si je dis au jeune homme: Voici, les flèches sont au-delà de toi! Alors va-t-en, car l’Éternel te renvoie.

23 L’Éternel est à jamais témoin de la parole que nous nous sommes donnée l’un à l’autre.
