For I saw the desolation of Sion, and the wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon.
3
And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak words full of fear to the most High, and said,
4
O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the beginning, when thou didst plant the earth, and that thyself alone, and commandedst the people,
5
And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, which was the workmanship of thine hands, and didst breathe into him the breath of life, and he was made living before thee.
6
And thou leadest him into paradise, which thy right hand had planted, before ever the earth came forward.
