And there is a great cry of the people and their wives, concerning their brethren the Jews, yea, there are who are saying, 'Our sons, and our daughters, we -- are many, and we receive corn, and eat, and live.'

He is giving back what he laboured for, And doth not consume it; As a bulwark is his exchange, and he exults not.
