⁴ His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them:

¹⁷ and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

¹⁸ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.

¹¹ There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;

²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.

¹⁹ I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him.

¹² Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:

⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; `But' the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

²⁷ For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

⁴ The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, `saith', He will not require `it'. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

¹⁴ And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

¹⁵ What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
