6
O Lord, if Thou suffer not Thy servant that we may pray before Thee, and Thou give us seed unto our heart and culture to our understanding, that there may come fruit from it, how shall each man live who is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man?
4
So answered I and said, "Swallow then down understanding, O my soul, and devour wisdom.
5
For thou hast agreed to give ear and art willing to prophesy, for thou hast no longer space than only to live.
6
O Lord, if Thou suffer not Thy servant that we may pray before Thee, and Thou give us seed unto our heart and culture to our understanding, that there may come fruit from it, how shall each man live who is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man?
7
For Thou art alone, and we are all one workmanship of Thine hands, as Thou hast said.
8
For when the body is fashioned now in the mother's womb and Thou givest it members, Thy creature is preserved in fire and water, and nine months doth Thy workmanship endure Thy creature which is created in her.
