10ListenH8085, O daughterH1323, giveH7200 attentionH7200 and inclineH5186 your earH241: 27ForgetH7911 your peopleH5971 and your father’sH1 houseH1004;11Then the KingH4428 will desireH183 your beautyH3308. BecauseH3588 He is your 28LordH136, 29bowH7812 downH7812 to Him.12The daughterH1323 of 30TyreH6865 will come with a giftH4503; The 31richH6223 among the peopleH5971 will seekH2470 your favorH6440.

16In placeH8478 of your fathersH1 will be your sonsH1121; You shall makeH7896 them princesH8269 in allH3605 the earthH776.17I will cause 36Your nameH8034 to be rememberedH2142 in allH3605 generationsH1755; ThereforeH5921H3651 the peoplesH5971 37will giveH3034 You thanksH3034 foreverH5769 and everH5703.
