And why take ye thought for raiment Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow they toil not, neither do they spin And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith.

They raised their voices with hymns of praise, but deafened themselves to the cry and moan of the widows and orphans.
