26 there is not a miscarrying and barren one in thy land; the number of thy days I fulfil:
`Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman -- nor among your cattle;
Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season.
and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.
and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.
And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
His bullock hath eaten corn, and doth not loath. His cow bringeth forth safely, And doth not miscarry.
Days of our years, in them `are' seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet `is' their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
There is not thence any more a suckling of days, And an aged man who doth not complete his days, For the youth a hundred years old dieth, And the sinner, a hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.
Bring in all the tithe unto the treasure-house, And there is food in My house; When ye have tried Me, now, with this, Said Jehovah of Hosts, Do not I open to you the windows of heaven? Yea, I have emptied on you a blessing till there is no space. And I have pushed for you against the consumer, And He doth not destroy to you the fruit of the ground, Nor miscarry to you doth the vine in the field, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
