If I would go to them, I sat the first; and when I sat as [a] king, while the host stood about, nevertheless I was [the] comforter of them that mourned.
The Lord gave to me a learned tongue, that I know how to sustain him by word that failed; early the father raiseth [up], early he raiseth [up] an ear to me, that I hear as a master.

And, brethren, we pray you, reprove, [or chastise], unpeaceable [or unquiet] men. Comfort ye men of little heart, receive ye sick men, be ye patient to all men.
