20. ಆಯಿಯ ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ಹಿಂದಕ್ಕೆ ತಿರಿಗಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ಇಗೋ, ಪಟ್ಟಣದ ಹೊಗೆ ಹೊತ್ತಿ ಆಕಾಶಕ್ಕೆ ಏಳು ವದನ್ನು ಕಂಡರು; ಆಗ ಈ ಮಾರ್ಗವಾದರೂ ಆ ಮಾರ್ಗವಾದರೂ ಓಡಿಹೋಗಲು ಅವರಿಗೆ ತ್ರಾಣ ವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಹೋಯಿತು. ಆಗ ಅರಣ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಓಡಿ ಹೋದ ಜನರು ಹಿಂದಟ್ಟಿದವರ ಕಡೆಗೆ ತಿರುಗಿದರು.

20. “ಆಯಿ”ಯ ಜನರು ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ತಮ್ಮ ಪಟ್ಟಣ ಉರಿಯುತ್ತಿರುವುದನ್ನೂ ಹೊಗೆಯು ಆಕಾಶಕ್ಕೆ ಏರುತ್ತಿರುವುದನ್ನೂ ಕಂಡು ತಮ್ಮ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನೂ ಧೈರ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡರು. ಅವರು ಇಸ್ರೇಲಿನ ಜನರ ಬೆನ್ನಟ್ಟುವುದನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟರು. ಇಸ್ರೇಲಿನ ಜನರು ಓಡಿಹೋಗುವುದನ್ನು ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಿ “ಆಯಿ”ಯ ಜನರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹೋರಾಡತೊಡಗಿದರು. “ಆಯಿ”ಯ ಜನರಿಗೆ ಓಡಿಹೋಗಲು ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತವಾದ ಯಾವ ಸ್ಥಳವೂ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ.
