12. O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by your name, And upon Israel, whom you did liken to a firstborn.

13. Have compassion upon the city of your sanctuary, Jerusalem, the place of your rest.

14. Fill Sion; exalt your oracles, And fill your people with your glory.

15. Give testimony to those that were your creatures in the beginning, And raise up the prophecies that have been in your name.

16. Give reward to them that wait for you: And men shall put their trust in your prophets.

17. Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of your suppliants, According to the blessing of Aaron concerning your people; And all they that are on the earth shall know That you are the Lord, the eternal God.

18. The belly will eat any meat; Yet is one meat better than another.

19. The mouth tastes meats taken in hunting: So does an understanding heart false speeches.

20. A froward heart will cause heaviness: And a man of experience will recompense him.

21. A woman will receive any man; But one daughter is better than another.
