Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
In the place of ancestors you, O king, shall have sons; you will make them princes in all the earth.

His arms are rounded gold, set with jewels. His body is ivory work, encrusted with sapphires.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
In the same way, my friends, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.
