14 At mangyari nga na ang dalagang aking pagsabihan, Ibaba mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo, ang iyong banga upang ako'y uminom; at siya'y magsabi, Uminom ka, at paiinumin ko pati ng iyong mga kamelyo: maging siyang iyong itinalaga sa iyong lingkod na kay Isaac: at sa ganito ay malalaman kong nagmagandang loob ka sa aking panginoon.
