¹⁵ Yet also I lifted up my hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

⁵ which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.

⁶ His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
