51:19 My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was exact: I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my ignorances of her. 51:20 I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness: I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I not be foresaken. 51:21 My heart was troubled in seeking her: therefore have I gotten a good possession. 51:22 The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith. 51:23 Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house of learning. 51:24 Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye to these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty? 51:25 I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her for yourselves without money. 51:26 Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find. 51:27 Behold with your eyes, how that I have but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest. 51:28 Get learning with a great sum of money, and get much gold by her. 51:29 Let your soul rejoice in his mercy, and be not ashamed of his praise. 51:30 Work your work betimes, and in his time he will give you your reward. The Book of Baruch 1:1 And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon, 1:2 In the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire. 1:3 And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book, 1:4 And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king’s sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud. 1:5 Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord. 1:6 They made also a collection of money according to every man’s power: 1:7 And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem, 1:8 At the same time when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of the month Sivan, namely, silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Jada had made, 1:9 After that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon. 1:10 And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God;
