  1. 15What will I say?
    He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it.
    I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.
  2. 16Lord, men live by these things;
    and my spirit finds life in all of them:
    you restore me, and cause me to live.

    Death can’t celebrate you.

    The father shall make known your truth to the children.
