If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Samuel. David explains to Jonathan that Saul is trying to kill him, while Jonathan initially finds it difficult to accept that his father could be acting with such intent. They establish a plan to discover Saul’s intentions through David’s absence from the New Moon meal. Their friendship is expressed through a covenant based on mutual faithfulness. Jonathan must choose between family loyalty and defending an innocent friend, preparing one of the deepest tests of his character.

Wird er sagen: Es ist gut, so steht es wohl um deinen Knecht. Wird er aber ergrimmen, so wirst du merken, daß Böses bei ihm beschlossen ist.
Si él dijere, Bien está, paz tendrá tu siervo; mas si se enojare, sabe que la malicia es en él cosumada.
Si dice: “Está bien”, tu servidor estará a salvo. Pero si se enfurece, sabrás que está decidido a hacerme daño.
Et s'il dit: C'est bien! ton serviteur alors n'a rien à craindre; mais si la colère s'empare de lui, sache que le mal est résolu de sa part.
Se egli allora dice così: Bene sta; e’ va bene per lo tuo servitore; ma, se pur si adira, sappi che il male è determinato da parte sua.
Se disser assim: Está bem; então teu servo tem paz; porém se muito se indignar, sabe que já está inteiramente determinado no mal.
你父親若說好,你的僕人就平安了;他若大怒,你就知道他決意行惡。
