And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

Therefore the name of it is called Babel; because Jehovah confused the language of all the earth there. And from there Jehovah scattered them abroad on the face of all the earth.

He found him in a desert land, and in the deserted, howling wilderness. He led him about, He cared for him, He kept him as the pupil of His eye.

And they cast lots, for duty, the small as well as the great, the teacher as the pupil.

Keep me as the pupil, the daughter of the eye; hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

Keep my commandments and live; and keep my law as the pupil of your eye.

For so says Jehovah of Hosts: He has sent me after glory, to the nations who stripped you; for he who touches you touches the pupil of His eye.
