| In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

| My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. | My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart. |

Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. |
