    that the rod that struck you is broken,
for a viper will come forth from the root of the snake,
    and its fruit will be a flying serpent.

    and the needy will lie down in security;
but I will cause your root to die in famine,

For smoke is coming from the north,
    and there is no straggler in his ranks.
