17 Oft he þearfendra bene ðance gehyrde, and he ne forhogode heora hold gebed.
Eft Hierusalem georne Drihten timbreð tidum, and to somnað þa þe ut gewitan of Israhelum.
for þam he na forsyhð ne ne awyrpð earmra manna gebeda; ne he his andwlitan ne awende fram me, ac þonne ic clypode to him, þonne gehyrde he me.”
Syn hiora eagan eac adimmad, þæt hi geseon ne magon syþþan awiht; weorðe heora bæc swylce abeged eac.
For þon he alyseð lungre þearfan, þæt him se welega ne mæg wiht onsittan, and þæne wædlan, þe on worulde næfð ahwær elles ænigne fultum.
for þam God ne forgyt his ðearfan oð heora ende, ne heora geþyld ne forweorð oþ ende.
