11Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.
12A seat of glory, placed on high from the first, is our holy place.
13O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who give you up will be put to shame; those who go away from you will be cut off from the earth, because they have given up the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
14Make me well, O Lord, and I will be well; be my saviour, and I will be safe: for you are my hope.
15See, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
16As for me, I have not said; Let the day of trouble come to them quickly; and I have not been hoping for the death-giving day; you have knowledge of what came from my lips; it was open before you.
17Be not a cause of fear to me: you are my safe place in the day of evil.
