«And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past; / As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live: / Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.»
«Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? / Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: / Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them? / Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.»
