³ And Elimelech husband of Naomi dieth, and she is left, she and her two sons;

¹ And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath cried unto Elisha, saying, `Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah, and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for servants.'

¹⁹ Many `are' the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.

⁶ for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'

¹⁰ for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

¹¹ and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.
