And shall make Him of quick understanding, and His delight shall be in the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, neither decide by the hearing of His ears;

And righteousness shall be the girdle of His waist and faithfulness the girdle of His loins.
