He sendeth out his word, and melteth them : he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
Page 12 - Ye lust, and have not ; ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain ; ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not ; ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
