καὶ πάλιν λέγει Ἄκουε Ἰσραήλ. ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός σου. καὶ πάλιν τὸ πνεῦμα κυρίου προφητεύει· Τίς ἐστιν ὁ θέλων ζῆσαι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα; ἀκοῇ ἀκουσάτω τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδός μου.

And again he says, “Hear, O Israel, for thus says the Lord your God.” And again the Spirit of the Lord prophesies, “Who is the one who wishes to live forever? Let him listen closely to the voice of my Servant.”
