If they say, 'Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,

Say not thou to thy friend, 'Go, and return, and to-morrow I give,' And substance with thee.

Say to wisdom, 'My sister Thou art.' And cry to understanding, 'Kinswoman!'

Do not say, 'I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He delivereth thee.

Say not, 'As he did to me, so I do to him, I render to each according to his work.'
