His eye

Take thou heed to thyself lest there be something near thine abandoned heart, saying - Drawing nigh, is the seventh year the year of release, and so thine eye be evil, against thy needy brother, and thou give not unto him, - and he cry out against thee unto Yahweh, and it become in thee a sin!

Do not eat the food of him that hath a begrudging eye, neither crave thou his dainties;

A man, hasting to be rich, hath an evil eye, and knoweth not when want may overtake him.

Is it not allowed me to do, what I please, with my own? or is, thine eye, evil, because I good?

And toward

whereas the, poor, man had, nothing, - save one little lamb, which he had made his own, and sustained, and it had grown up with him and with his children, all together, - of his own morsel, used it to eat, and, out of his own cup, used it to drink, and, in his own bosom, used it to lie, and it was to him, as a daughter.

Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate, - from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou the doors of thy mouth;

Or what man, from among yourselves, whom his son shall ask for a loaf, - a stone, will give him?

But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give him, a serpent?
