12 May our sons in their youth
    be like (A)plants full grown,
our daughters like (B)corner pillars
    cut for the structure of a palace;
13 (C)may our granaries be full,
    (D)providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
    and ten thousands in our fields;
14 may our cattle be heavy with young,
    suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;[a]
may there be no (E)cry of distress in our streets!
