29 For thy temple's | sake at Jerusalem: so shall kings bring | presents | unto | thee.

30 When the company of the spear-men, and multitude of the mighty are scattered abroad among the beasts of the people, so that they humbly bring pieces of silver; and when he hath scattered the people that de | light · in | war ;

31 Then shall the princes come out · of | Egypt : the Morians' land shall soon stretch out her | hands unto God.

20 Thou hast known my reproof, my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are | all in. thy sight.

21 Thy rebuke hath broken my heart; I am | full of heaviness: I looked for some to have pity on me, but there was no man, neither | found · 1 any to comfort me.

22 They gave me | gall · to | eat: and when I was thirsty they gave me | vinegar to | drink. 23 Let their table be made a snare to take them selves with al: and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an oc | casion of falling.
