<p class="bodytext">From the priests:p> <p class="bodytext">Jedaiah son of Joiarib, Jakin,

<p class="poetry">what he stores up<n id="1" /> a righteous man will wear,p> <p class="poetry">and an innocent man will inherit his silver.p>

<p class="poetry">If he piles up silver like dustp> <p class="poetry">and stores up clothing like mounds of clay,p>

<p class="poetry">A person<n id="1" /> plans his course,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">but the <sc>Lordsc> directs<n id="3" /> his steps.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">Who prepares prey for the raven,p> <p class="poetry">when its young cry out to Godp> <p class="poetry">and wander about<n id="1" /> for lack of food?p>

<p class="poetry">A wicked person<n id="1" /> shows boldness with his face,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">but as for the upright,<n id="3" /> he discerns<n id="4" /> his ways.p>

He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right side and the other on the left.<n id="1" /> He named the one on the right Jachin,<n id="2" /> and the one on the left Boaz.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">Yes,<n id="1" /> he struck a rock and water flowed out,p> <p class="poetry">streams gushed forth.p> <p class="poetry">But can he also give us food?p> <p class="poetry">Will he provide meat for his people?&#8221;p>

then they said to him, &#8220;Say &#8216;Shibboleth!&#8217;&#8221;<n id="1" /> If he said, &#8220;Sibboleth&#8221; (and could not pronounce the word<n id="2" /> correctly), they grabbed him and executed him right there at the fords of the Jordan. On that day forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell dead.

He set up the pillars on the porch in front of the main hall. He erected one pillar on the right<n id="1" /> side and called it Jakin;<n id="2" /> he erected the other pillar on the left<n id="3" /> side and called it Boaz.<n id="4" />
