²⁶And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

⁸He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

¹⁴He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

²²A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

¹ON that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

¹⁰For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

¹IF there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

²⁴And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
