9 他论自己的父母说： 我未曾看见； 他也不承认弟兄， 也不认识自己的儿女。 这是因利未人遵行你的话， 谨守你的约。
Who said of his father and of his mother, I have not seen him; and who did not acknowledge his brothers, nor regarded his own children; for they observe thy word, and thy covenant they keep.
10 他们要将你的典章教训雅各， 将你的律法教训以色列。 他们要把香焚在你面前， 把全牲的燔祭献在你的坛上。
They shall teach thy ordinances unto Jacob, and thy law unto Israel: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt-sacrifice upon thy altar.
11 求耶和华降福在他的财物上， 悦纳他手里所办的事。 那些起来攻击他和恨恶他的人， 愿你刺透他们的腰， 使他们不得再起来。
