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.
