Or the Most Just dost thou condemn? Who hath said to a king -- 'Worthless,' Unto princes -- 'Wicked?' That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands are all of them.
and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth: And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it is who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as at this day.
