Why should ye be smitten any more? Ye would again turn aside! The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint:

Fell on

For, all these things, hath mine own hand made, And all these things came into being, - Declareth Yahweh. But for this one, will I look around, For him who is humbled and smitten in spirit, And so careth anxiously for my word.

Besought

O man of god

Range yourselves, therefore, under God, but withstand the adversary, and he will flee from you:
