15 Their ways are ever before him, and shall not be hid from his eyes.
16 Every man from his youth is given to evil; neither could they make to themselves fleshy hearts for stony.

18 Whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him.
