21. For the blameless man hastened to be their champion,bearing the weapon of his special office,prayer and the propitiation of incense;He withstood the wrath and put a stop to the calamity,showing that he was your servant.
22. He overcame the bitternessnot by bodily strength, not by force of arms;But by word he overcame the smiter,recalling the sworn covenants with their ancestors.
23. For when corpses had already fallen one on another in heaps,he stood in the midst and checked the anger,and cut off its way to the living.
24. For on his full-length robe was the whole world,and ancestral glories were carved on the four rows of stones,and your grandeur was on the crown upon his head.
25. To these the destroyer yielded, these he feared;for this sole trial of anger sufficed.
