⁷ Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction and of her rebellions and of all her desirable things that she had in the times of old when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and no one helped her; the enemies saw her and mocked at her days of rest.

Cheth

Samech

¹⁵ The Lord has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me; he has called a company against me to crush my young men; the Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a winepress.

²⁹ ¶ And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

³⁰ And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

³¹ And the multitude rebuked them, that they should be silent; but they cried the more, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

³² And Jesus stood still and called them and said, What desire ye that I shall do unto you?

³³ They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

³⁴ Then Jesus, having mercy on them, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
