14. May the Lord add to your numbers,both yours and your children’s.
15. May you be blessed by the Lord,the Maker of heaven and earth.
16. The heavens are the Lord’s, but the earth He has given to the human race.
17. It is not the dead who praise the Lord,nor any of those descending into the silence of death.
18. But we will praise the Lord,both now and forever. Hallelujah!
