Ne lætaris, Philisthæa omnis tu, quoniam comminuta est virga percussoris tui; de radice enim colubri egredietur regulus, et semen ejus absorbens volucrem.
Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia, that the rod of him that struck thee is broken in pieces: for out of the root of the serpent shall come forth a basilisk, and his seed shall swallow the bird.
Ne te, de Philisthaea omni laetor, quia comminue es virga de percussore tuo; de radice nam de colube egredior regulo, et semine de illo absorbe volucre.
