| 1 | The sun that shone on the British empire had passed midday. | |
| 2 | At noon I had lunch with a friend of mine. | |
| 3 | Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. | |
| 4 | We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. | |
| 5 | After the servant had lifted him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. |
