9 And Joseph afraid of the
king's anger, went to bed without
his supper, taking not any thing
to eat.

10 Then the Lord Jesus asked
him, What he was afraid of?

11 Joseph replied, Because I
have lost my labour in the work
which I have been about these two
years.

12 Jesus said to him, Fear not,
neither be cast down;

13 Do thou lay hold on one side
of the throne, and I will the other,
and we will bring it to its just
dimensions.

14 And when Joseph had done
as the Lord Jesus said, and each
of them had with strength drawn
his side, the throne obeyed, and
was brought to the proper
dimensions of the place:

15 Which miracle when they
who stood by saw, they were
astonished, and praised God.

16 The throne was made of the
same wood which was in being
in Solomon's time, namely, wood
adorned with various shapes, and
figures.
