He shall deliver the innocent, and do you save yourself by your pure hands.

and should find in it a poor wise man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember that poor man.

And your old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and your foundations shall last through all generations; and you shall be called a repairer of breaches, and you shall cause your paths between to be in peace.
