טקסט מקורי - אנגלית - Do not send Your Son. Come Yourself.

O, Lord! Despite a great many prayers to You we are continually losing our wars. Tomorrow we shall again be fighting a battle that is truly great. With all our might we need Your help and that is why I must tell You something: This battle tomorrow is going to be a serious affair. There will be no place in it for children. Therefore I must ask You not to send Your Son to help us. Come Yourself.
(the prayer of Koq, leader of the Griquas tribe, before a battle with the Afrikaners in 1876.)
