of

the

Lord

,

my

children

,

He

will

exalt

you

there

,

and

will

bless

you

with

good

things

for

ever

and

ever

.

And

if

any

one

seeketh

to

do

evil

unto

you

,

do

ye

by

well

-

doing

pray

for

him

,

and

ye

shall

be

redeemed

of

the

Lord

from

all

evil

.

For

,

behold

,

ye

see

that

through

long

-

suffering

I

took

unto

wife

even

the

daughter

of

my

master

.

And

a

hundred

talents

of

gold

were

given

me

with

her

;

for

the

Lord

made

them

to

serve

me

.

And

He

gave

me

also

beauty

as

a

flower

above

the

beautiful

ones

of

Israel

;

and

He

preserved

me

unto

old

age

in

strength

and

in

beauty

,

because

I

was

like

in

all

things

to

Jacob

.
