Or, ‘ the vision throughout is ’)[*](16. Or. ‘ for the thing made saith...’ ‘of,’ or, ‘to him that...’ formed of him that formed ’: or, ‘pot of the ’: same word as earlier in verse.)[*](17. ‘ garden ’ same word as ‘Carmel.)

19 And the meek shall add to their. joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

20 For the terrible one is at an end, and all is overylwith the scoffer, and that watched for iniquity are cut off .
