Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,

Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth,

Because of winter the slothful plougheth not, He asketh in harvest, and there is nothing.

The spoil of the wicked catcheth them, Because they have refused to do judgment.

Rob not the poor because he is poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.
