20. Desire not the night, When peoples are cut off in their place.
21. Take heed, regard not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22. Behold, God doeth loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like unto him?
23. Who hath enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?

25. All men have looked thereon; Man beholdeth it afar off.
