19. What good shall an offering do to an idol? for it can neither eat, nor smell:
20. So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity:
21. He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing.
22. Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel.
23. The joyfulness of the heart, is the life of a man, and a never failing treasure of holiness: and the joy of a man is length of life.
