Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.

The words of a tale-bearer are as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down to the inner parts of the heart.

Better is the lightly esteemed who hath a servant, Than the self-honoured who lacketh bread.

The words of a tale-bearer are as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down to the inner parts of the heart.

-- And this to thee is the sign, Food of the year is self-sown grain, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, And in the third year, sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

and they eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow of the passover, unleavened things and roasted corn, in this self-same day;

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in this self-same day, saying,

and ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations -- a statute age-during.

And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.

Into their secret, come not, O my soul! Unto their assembly be not united, O mine honour; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will eradicated a prince.

And this to thee is the sign, Food of the year is the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year sow ye, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.

And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God -- a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.
