12. People Knew Not Their Own Mind—The inhabitants of the city did not for a moment think themselves capable of such an act of ingratitude and treachery; but David knew, from the light that God had given him, that they could not be trusted, that in the hour of need they would fail (The Signs of the Times, October 5, 1888).{2BC 1020.7}

12. Folk kendte ikke deres egne tanker. - Byens indbyggere troede ikke et øjeblik selv at en sådan utaknemmelig og forræderisk handling kunne ske; men David vidste det, ud fra det lys Gud havde givet ham, at de ikke var til at stole på, at de ville svigte på det fornødne tidspunkt (ST 5. okt., 1888).
