How dare you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the splinter that is in your eye,' and you never notice the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite! take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you will see properly to take out the splinter in your brother's eye.

(Look! perhaps your very light is dark.)

So all you utter in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you whisper in chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops,

Day after day I was beside you in the temple, and you never stretched a hand against me. But this is your hour, and the dark Power has its way."
