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;

Our sons are like tall young plants; and our daughters like the shining stones of a king's house;

δια να ηναι οι υιοι ημων ως νεοφυτα, αυξανοντες εις την νεοτητα αυτων· αι θυγατερες ημων ως ακρογωνιαιοι λιθοι τετορνευμενοι προς στολισμον παλατιου·

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:
