14. Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.
15. Against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he has greatly withstood our words.
16. At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.
17. But the Lord stood with me, and gave me power, that through me the proclamation might be fully made, and all those of the nations should hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.
18. The Lord shall deliver me from every wicked work, and shall preserve me for his heavenly kingdom; to whom be glory for the ages of ages. Amen.
