12and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he divided to them the living.
13`And not many days after, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered his substance, living riotously;
14and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;
15and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the fields to feed swine,
16and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the swine were eating, and no one was giving to him.
17`And having come to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing!
