¹⁹ Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.

¹⁸ For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

¹² And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
