15. Where then is your birkat Shomayim? For I testify to you that if possible, having torn out your eynayeem (eyes), you would have made a mattanah (gift) of them to me.
16. So, then, have I become your oyev (enemy) by telling you HaEmes?
17. They (the mohalim haGoyim) are zealously courting you, but not in a good way; rather, they desire to cut you off and shut you out, in order that you may be zealous for them.
18. Now it is tov ma'od to be zealous in a good thing all the time, and not only during my presence with you.
19. My yeladim, for whom again I suffer chevlei leydah (birth pains) until Moshiach is formed in you,

21. Tell me, you Goyim who wish to be under the Torah, do you not possess "shema" hearing of the Torah?
