21
And I saw, and spared it greatly, and have kept me a grape of the cluster, and a plant of a great people.
22
Let the multitude perish then, which was born in vain; and let my grape be kept, and my plant; for with great labour have I made it perfect.
23
Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more, (but thou shalt not fast in them,
24
But go into a field of flowers, where no house is builded, and eat only the flowers of the field; taste no flesh, drink no wine, but eat flowers only;)
25
And pray unto the Highest continually, then will I come and talk with thee.
26
So I went my way into the field which is called Ardath, like as he commanded me; and there I sat among the flowers, and did eat of the herbs of the field, and the meat of the same satisfied me.
27
After seven days I sat upon the grass, and my heart was vexed within me, like as before:
28
And I opened my mouth, and began to talk before the most High, and said,
29
O Lord, thou that shewest thyself unto us, thou wast shewed unto our fathers in the wilderness, in a place where no man treadeth, in a barren place, when they came out of Egypt.
30
And thou spakest saying, Hear me, O Israel; and mark my words, thou seed of Jacob.
31
For, behold, I sow my law in you, and it shall bring fruit in you, and ye shall be honoured in it for ever.
