He shall show forth that which he hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord.
9
Many shall commend his understanding; and so long as the world endureth, it shall not be blotted out; his memory shall not depart away, and his name shall live from generation to generation.
10
Nations shall show forth his wisdom, and the congregation shall declare his praise.
11
If he die, he shall leave a greater name than a thousand; and if he live, he shall increase it.
12
Yet have I more to say, which I have thought upon, for I am filled as the moon at the full.
13
Hearken unto me, ye holy children, and bud forth as a rose growing by the brook of the field.
14
And give ye a sweet savor as frankincense, and flourish as a lily, send forth a smell, and sing a song of praise, bless the Lord in all His works.
15
Magnify His name, and show forth His praise with the songs of your lips and with harps; and in praising Him ye shall say in this manner:
16
"All the works of the Lord are exceeding good, and whatsoever He commandeth shall be accomplished in due season."
17
And none may say, What is this? Why is that? For at time convenient they shall all be sought out; at His commandment the waters stood as a heap, and at the words of His mouth the receptacles of waters.
18
At His commandment is done whatsoever pleaseth Him; and none can hinder when He will save.
