And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.

And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help.

Και πολλακις αυτον και εις πυρ ερριψε και εις υδατα, δια να απολεση αυτον· αλλ' εαν δυνασαι τι, βοηθησον ημας, σπλαγχνισθεις εφ' ημας.

And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
