17and hear thou the prayer of thy servants. After the blessing of Aaron give thou to thy people, and (ad)dress (or direct) thou us into the way of rightfulness; (so) that all men know, that dwell in (or on the) earth, that thou art God, the beholder of worlds.
18The womb shall eat all meat(s), and one meat is better than another meat.

26To whom believeth he that hath no nest, and boweth down wherever it is dark, as a thief girt or girded up, skipping out from city into city?
