And the Lord said - Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; - And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?

Wherefore, the slackened hands and paralysed knees, restore ye, And, straight tracks, be making for your feet - that the lame member may not be dislocated, but, be healed rather.
