MIND



And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from one end of
the earth unto the other: and there thou shalt serve other gods,
which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and

shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee
there a trembling heart, and failing eyes, and sorrow of mind.

for he hath prepared for them a city.
