¹⁰ Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.

¹¹ They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.

¹² By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.

¹³ Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.

¹⁴ Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

¹⁵ And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.

¹⁶ Satisfied [are] the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,

¹⁷ Where birds do make nests, The stork -- the firs [are] her house.

¹⁸ The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge for conies,

²⁸ Remove not a border of olden times, That thy fathers have made.

²⁹ Hast thou seen a man speedy in his business? Before kings he doth station himself, He stations not himself before obscure men!

18 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?

⁸ I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'

2 Because of this it behoveth [us] more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

² for if the word being spoken through messengers did become stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience did receive a just recompense,

³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving -- to be spoken through the Lord -- by those having heard was confirmed to us,

⁴ God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.
