12
And now, O Lord, I set I mine eyes and my face toward thee,
13
And say, Take me out of the earth, that I may hear no more the reproach.
14
Thou knowest, Lord, that I am pure from all sin with man,
15
And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.
16
So the prayers of them both were heard before the majesty of the great God.
