Bow down thy ear cheerfully to the poor, and pay what thou owest, and answer him peaceable words with mildness.

Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bands.

Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their childhood.

And afterward he shall rise up, and shall render them their reward, to every one upon their own head, and shall turn them down into the bowels of the earth.

Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat his sides while he is a child, lest he grow stubborn, and regard thee not, and so be a sorrow of heart to thee.

He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet:

I bowed down my ear a little, and received her.
