There are the cords so laid abroad, that they cannot be better; The mast set up of such a fashion, that no banner nor sail hangeth thereon; but there is dealt great spoil: yea, lame men run after the prey;

But unto Zion there shall come a redeemer, and unto them in Jacob that turn from wickedness, sayeth the LORD.
