Geleerdes stem saam dat die Hebreeuse teks van Sagaria 2:8 (v. 12 in Hebreeus) uiters moeilik is om te vertaal. Hierdie artikel fokus op die volgende vrae: Maak die Masoretiese teks sin? Moet ons die Masoretiese teks wysig? Die vertaling van die volgende ingewikkelde woorde en frases word bespreek: (1)תואבצ הוהי; (2) ינחלשׁ דובכ רחא; 3) the particle יכ; (4) תבבב; (5) en וניע. Die skrywer glo dat dit nie nodig is om die Masoretiese teks te wysig nie en bied die volgende moontlike vertaling aan: ‘Want so sê die HERE van alle magte: Ná die heerlikheid (d.i. die visioen) het Hy my gestuur na die nasies deur wie julle uitgebuit is; waarlik, wie aan julle vat, vat aan die appel van sy oog.’
