For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

Quid enim bonum ejus est, et quid pulchrum ejus, nisi frumentum electorum, et vinum germinans virgines ?

ὅτι εἴ τι ἀγαθὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἴ τι καλὸν αὐτοῦ, σῖτος νεανίσκοις, καὶ οἶνος εὐωδιάζων εἰς παρθένους.

LXX

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
