Howbeit {H3651} in the business of the ambassadors {H3887} of the princes {H8269} of Babylon {H894}, who sent {H7971} unto him to enquire {H1875} of the wonder {H4159} that was done in the land {H776}, God {H430} left {H5800} him, to try {H5254} him, that he might know {H3045} all that was in his heart {H3824}.
