¹⁸ And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

³⁹ For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

¹² And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

⁶ There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

³⁹ And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

² But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

¹⁴ Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

¹² When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
