Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself;
Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor,
Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.

If you say, “See, we did not know this,”
Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts?
And does He not know it who keeps your soul?
And will He not render to man according to his work?

The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,
And says, “I have done no wrong.”
