29 And so, while he, through the working of God, speechless and bereft of all hope and deliverance, lay prostrate,
30 they blessed the Lord, that made marvelous his own place; and the temple, which a little before was full of terror and alarm, was filled with joy and gladness after the Almighty Lord appeared.
