6. 5:6  We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7. 5:7  Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

19. 5:19  Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
20. 5:20  Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
21. 5:21  Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
