32. And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
33. He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:
34. A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35. He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.
36. And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.
37. And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.
38. And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
39. Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
40. Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
41. And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.
42. The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
