and so it come to pass while he is hearing the words of this oath, that he will bless himself in his heart - saying, Prosperity, shall I have, although in the stubbornness of my heart, I go on, - so that the drunkenness addeth to the thirst:
How that they used to say to you - In the last time, there shall be mockers, - according to their own ungodly covetings, going on.
