50For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:
51And therefore I bade thee remain in the field where no house was builded:
52For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.
53Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no foundation of any building was.
