|
3 |
behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb. -
|
4 |
As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken. -
|
5 |
Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate. -
