Profit » Those that profit from violence
My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent. If they say - Come with us, - Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us watch in secret for him who is needlessly innocent; Let us engulf them, like hades, alive, While in health, like them who are going down to the pit; read more.
All costly substance, shall we find, We shall fill our houses with spoil; Thy lot, shalt thou cast into our midst, One purse, shall there be, for us all. My son, do not walk in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path. For, their feet, to mischief, do run, and haste to the shedding of blood. Surely, in vain, is spread the net, in the sight of aught that hath wings! Yet, they, for their own blood, lie in wait, They watch in secret for their own life. Such are the ways of every one that graspeth with greed, The life of the owners thereof, it taketh away!

But when, any man, shall be righteous, and do justice and righteousness: Upon the mountains, hath not eaten, And his eyes, hath not lifted up unto the manufactured gods of the house of Israel, And the wife of his neighbour, hath not defiled, And unto a woman during her removal, hath not approached; And no man, hath treated with violence, But his debt-pledge, hath restored. Plunder, hath not seized, - His bread - to the famished, hath given, And the naked, hath covered with clothing; Upon interest, hath not put out his money. And increase, hath not accepted, From dishonesty, hath turned back his hand, - Justice in truth, hath doze, between man and man; In my statutes, hath walked. And my regulations, hath observed to do them in truth, Righteous, he is, He shall surely live, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh. But he hath begotten a son Who is a violent man A shedder of blood,- Who doeth the like of any of these things; Whereas he, none of those other things, doeth, For indeed upon the mountains, he hath eaten, And the wife of his neighbour, hath defiled; The oppressed and the needy, hath treated with violence, Hath ruthlessly plundered, The pledge, hath not restored, But unto the manufactured gods, hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination, hath wrought; Upon interest, hath put out. And increase, hath accepted - , And shall he live? He shall not live All these abominations, he hath done, He shall surely be put to death, His blood, upon himself, shall be.
