7 Therefore, lest I should be too exalted especially by the excess of my chazonot, there was given to me a kotz (thorn, splinter) in my basar, a malach of HaSatan, for the purpose of using his fists on me,*12:7 Job 2:6 lest I should be too exalted.*12:7 Num 33:55 8 I davened shalosh pe’amim, calling upon Adoneinu that it might depart from me. 9 And HaAdon said to me, "My Chesed is ad kahn (sufficient for the purpose, enough) for you, for My ko’ach (power) is perfected in weakness." With lev samei’ach therefore will I boast in my weaknesses that the gevurah of Moshiach might be a shelter over me.*12:9 1Kgs 19:12
