¹³ He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.

²³ For the Lord will give support to their cause, and take the life of those who take their goods.

⁵ And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.

¹⁶ And let not him who is in the field go back to take his coat.
