¹⁶ Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.

²⁴ Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

¹ Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

² the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

³ Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

⁴ the land which Jehovah smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and thy servants have cattle.

⁵ And they said, If we have found favor in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.

¹⁵ And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.

⁴ Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

⁶ I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.

⁴⁰ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.

⁴¹ Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

²¹ For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and `whose' glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
