Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

Contend not with a mighty man, Lest haply you fall into his hands. Strive not with a rich man, lest haply he overweigh you: For gold has destroyed many, And turned aside the hearts of kings. Contend not with a man that is full of tongue, And heap not wood upon his fire.
