<p id="Ps113_7"><b>7, 8.</b> which condescension is illustrated as often in raising the worthy poor and needy to honor (compare <a onclick="return mV('1Sa',2,8);">1Sa 2:8</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',44,25);">Psa 44:25</a>).

<p id="Ps113_9"><b>9.</b> On this special case, compare <a onclick="return mV('1Sa',2,21);">1Sa 2:21</a>. Barrenness was regarded as a disgrace, and is a type of a deserted Church (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',54,1);">Isa 54:1</a>).
