3. A sword is sent upon you, and who is he that may turn it back?

4. A fire is sent upon you, and who is he that may quench it?

5. Evils are sent upon you, and who is he that may drive them away?

6. May one drive away a hungry lion in the wood? or may one quench the fire in stubble, when it has once begun to burn?
