Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for wherein thou judgest the other, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost the same things.

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law,

And art confident, that thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, An instructer of the ignorant,
