even]
many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun,

The good LORD pardon every one ... And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and
healed the people.

there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb.
