I1🔗f ye also therefore walk in the commandments of the Lord, my children, He will exalt you there, and will bless you with good things for ever and ever.

2🔗 And if any one seeketh to do evil unto you, do ye by well-doing pray for him, and ye shall be redeemed of the Lord from all evil.

3🔗 For, behold, ye see that through long-suffering I took unto wife even the daughter of my master.

4🔗 And a hundred talents of gold were given me with her; for the Lord made them to serve me.

5🔗 And He gave me also beauty as a flower above the beautiful ones of Israel; and He preserved me unto old age in strength and in beauty, because I was like in all things to Jacob.
