May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For they kill men in their anger, and hamstring oxen on a whim.

O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
