The 6virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 Has doneH6213 a mostH3966 7appallingH8186 thingH8186.14Does the snowH7950 of LebanonH3844 leaveH5800 the rockH6697 of the open countryH7706 aloneH5800?

And they 11have stumbledH3782 in their waysH1870, In the 12ancientH5769 roadsH7635, To walkH1980 on pathsH5410, Not on a 13highwayH1870H5549,
