But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.” | 22"I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished." | 22And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. | 22and I will humble myself even more and humiliate myself. I will be honored by the slave girls you spoke about." |
