25
Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and was obedient to Thy grace, that nourisheth all things, according to the desire of them that had need,
26
that Thy children, O Lord, whom Thou lovest, might know that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man, but that it is Thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in Thee.
27
For that which was not destroyed by the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away,
28
that it might be known that we must precede the sun to give Thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto Thee.
29
For the hope of the unfaithful shall melt away as the winter's hoarfrost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.
