About this work

2. And the Lord showed me favour

‹ Section 1 Section 3 ›

in

all

my

works

both

in

the

field

and

at

home

.

When

I

saw

that

I

could

run

with

the

hind

,

then

I

caught

it

,

and

prepared

meat

for

my

father

.

I

seized

upon

the

roes

in

the

chase

,

and

all

that

was

in

the

plains

I

outran

.

A

wild

mare

I

outran

,

and

I

caught

it

and

tamed

it

;

and

I

slew

a

lion

,

and

plucked

a

kid

out

of

its

mouth

.

I

took

a

bear

by

its

paw

,

and

rolled

it

over

a

cliff

;

and

if

any

beast

turned

upon

me

,

I

rent

it

like

a

dog

.

I

encountered

the

wild

boar

,

and

overtaking

it

in

the

chase

,

I

tore

it

.

A

leopard

in

Hebron

leaped

upon

the

dog

,

and

I

caught

it

by

the

tail

,

and

flung

it

from

me

,

and

it

was

dashed

to

pieces

in

the

coasts

of

Gaza

.

A

wild

ox

feeding

in

the

field

I

seized

by

the

horns

;

and

whirling

it

round

and

stunning

it

,

I

cast

it

from

me

,

and

slew

it

.
