32
so you, O guardian of the law, overwhelmed from every side by the flood of your emotions and the violent winds, the torture of your sons, endured nobly and withstood the wintry storms that assail religion.
30
O more noble than males in steadfastness, and more manly than men in endurance!
31
Just as Noah's ark, carrying the world in the universal flood, stoutly endured the waves,
32
so you, O guardian of the law, overwhelmed from every side by the flood of your emotions and the violent winds, the torture of your sons, endured nobly and withstood the wintry storms that assail religion.
