3:2
And the Lord said unto Satan: 'The the Lord rebuke thee, O Satan, yea, the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee; is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?'

3:3

3:4

In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.
