2 Thus says the Lord: "The people who survived the sword Found grace in the wilderness-- Israel, when I went to give him rest."
2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
2 Thus saith Jehovah: The people [that were] left of the sword have found grace in the wilderness, [even] Israel, when I go to give him rest.
