24He shall breake in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. 25Therefore hee knoweth their workes, and he ouerturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. 26He striketh them as wicked men, in the open sight of others: 27Because they turned backe from him, and would not consider any of his wayes. 28So that they cause the cry of the poore to come vnto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
