And as I made this determination in my unfaltering heart, he picked me up and stood on an empty box that I should have bound on the morrow, and tied one end of me to a dark rafter; and the knot was carelessly tied, because his soul was reproaching him all the while continually and giving him no ease. WHEN I HEARD HIM SAY THIS ABOUT ME I DETERMINED THAT WHATEVER HE MIGHT REQUIRE OF ME IT SHOULD BE DONE TO THE UTTERMOST AND AS I MADE THIS DETERMINATION IN MY UNFALTERING HEART HE PICKED ME UP AND STOOD ON AN EMPTY BOX THAT I SHOULD HAVE BOUND ON THE MORROW AND TIED ONE END OF ME TO A DARK RAFTER AND THE KNOT WAS CARELESSLY TIED BECAUSE HIS SOUL WAS REPROACHING HIM ALL THE WHILE CONTINUALLY AND GIVING HIM NO EASE

"Then the man saw me and said, 'This at least will not fail me.
