Thus I was as a man that hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.

If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of your children.

Thus my soul was grieved, and I was pierced in my heart.

Thus they changed their glory into the image of an ox that eats grass.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds: and the plague broke in upon them.

Thus were they defiled with their own works, and played the harlot with their own deeds.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I thus escape.
