And this hath in his hand a sword, or an axe, but cannot save himself from war, or from robbers, whereby be it known to you, that they are not gods.
Each has in its right hand an ax or dagger, but it cannot save itself from war or pillage. Thus it is known they are not gods; do not fear them.
Each has in its right hand a sword and an ax, but none is able to defend itself from war or thievery. Thus it is evident beyond question that these are not gods; so have no fear of them.
One of them holds a sceptre, like a district judge, but is unable to destroy anyone who offends it.
One of them holds a scepter, like a district judge, but is unable to destroy anyone who offends it.
