[No book] |
| [3]I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed; |
[No book] |
| [4]I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples, |
[No book] |
| [5]until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. |
[No book] |
| [6]Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood. |

[No book] |
| [15]I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
[No book] |
