28 Then said Uzziah to her: "All that thou hast spoken hast thou spoken with a good heart, and there is none who may gainsay thy words.
29 For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of thy days all thy people have known thy understanding, because the disposition of thine heart is good.
