And Abram said, Master and Lord, what shall You give me? Seeing I am departing without a child, but the son of Masek my home-born female slave, this Eliezer of Damascus [is my heir].

For all his days [are] sorrowful, and vexation of spirit is his; in the night also his heart rests not. This is also vanity.

Why do you value at the price of money, and [give] your labor for that which will not satisfy? Hearken to Me, and you shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
