24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
24 For G1063 he beholdeth G2657 himself, G1438 and G2532 goeth his way, G565 and G2532 straightway G2112 forgetteth G1950 what manner of man G3697 he was. G2258
24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
24 for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;
24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
24 For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.

All passion, and rash anger, and vile affections, ought to be suppressed. The word of God should be made our chief study: and what we hear and know of it we must take care to practise, otherwise our religion will prove but a vain thing.
