so as to make known to the sons of men your power and the glory of your magnificent kingdom.
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
When our sons shall be as plants grown large in their youth and our daughters as sculptured corner pillars hewn like those of a palace;
When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;
so that our sons can grow up fully, in their youth, like plants; so that our daughters can be like pillars carved to decorate a palace;
To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
