    The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. Thou
    hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the
    wine of astonishment. He also shall be my salvation: for an
    hypocrite shall not come before him. And I commanded you at that
    time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess
    it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of
    Israel, all that are meet for the war. Who hath measured the waters
    in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and
    comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the
    mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? But do thou for me,
    O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good,
    deliver thou me.

    Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household,
    and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to
    Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of
    Rabshakeh. Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it
    withereth before any other herb. So Hananiah the prophet died the
    same year in the seventh month. They are exalted for a little while,
    but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all
    other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. And all that
    Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner,
    and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had
    dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his
    brethren. And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had
    the dropsy.
