Page 264 - He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill ; 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
Page 239 - For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him ; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
Page 19 - And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities : the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
