²⁶ and he saith, `Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:' and he saith, `I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed me.'

⁴ Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh `by' weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us,

¹² Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

¹³ He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

⁸ Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,

⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

¹ And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth `us' always to pray, and not to faint,

² saying, `A certain judge was in a certain city -- God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding --

³ and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

⁴ and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

⁵ yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'

⁶ And the Lord said, `Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:

⁷ and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them?

⁴ But a little I passed on from them, Till I found him whom my soul hath loved! I seized him, and let him not go, Till I brought him in unto the house of my mother -- And the chamber of her that conceived me.

¹ To the Overseer, with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm, a Song. God doth favour us and bless us, Doth cause His face to shine with us. Selah.

¹⁰ And Jabez calleth to the God of Israel, saying, `If blessing Thou dost bless me, then Thou hast made great my border, and Thy hand hath been with me, and Thou hast kept `me' from evil -- not to grieve me;' and God bringeth in that which he asked.

⁷ who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death -- with strong crying and tears -- having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

³⁷ but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

²⁸ And they came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on further,

²⁹ and they constrained him, saying, `Remain with us, for it is toward evening,' and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them.

⁷ And there is none calling in Thy name, Stirring up himself to lay hold on Thee, For Thou hast hid Thy face from us, And thou meltest us away by our iniquities.

¹¹ Thus said Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Yea, concerning the work of My hands, ye command Me.'

⁵ Thy head upon thee as Carmel, And the locks of thy head as purple, The king is bound with the flowings!

⁶ Earth hath given her increase, God doth bless us -- our God,

⁷ God doth bless us, and all ends of earth fear Him!

¹⁴ desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.

¹⁰ and now, let Me alone, and My anger doth burn against them, and I consume them, and I make thee become a great nation.'
