Mt 4:6d ... 'lest you-strike a-stone against your foot.' "

For the 7th phrase the devil says these 7 dialog words ... mēpote proskopsēs pros lithon ton poda sou (lest you-strike a-stone against the foot of-you).

The 7 dialog words are bottom up. The Devil has subtly altered the second phrase of the second sentence of this scripture: "God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways. With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone." (Psalm 91:11-12). The 5 dialog words "pros lithon ton poda sou" (against a stone the foot of you) are tangent to three stones striking the foot of Jesus. The word "lithon" lies directly over "a stone" with a sharp point. The diagram shows that when the two angels, the three stones, and the next five words of this diagram are rotated 180 degrees, Jesus can fall and strike his foot against a very sharp and dangerous stone.
