42:13. For from garments cometh a moth, and from a woman the iniquity of
a man.
42:14. For better is the iniquity of a man, than a woman doing a good
turn, and a woman bringing shame and reproach.
Better is the iniquity, etc... That is, there is, commonly speaking,

a spark!

things obey him.

nothing defective.

be filled with beholding his glory?
