| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData At the side of the gates, at the mouth of the city, The entrance of the openings, she crieth aloud, |

| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData In His strengthening clouds above, In His making strong fountains of the deep, |
| 29 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData In His setting for the sea its limit, And the waters transgress not His command, In His decreeing the foundations of earth, |
| 30 |
