²⁹ The king said to him, Why speak you any more of your matters? I say, You and Ziba divide the land.

¹⁷ then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;

¹⁸ and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother;

¹⁹ then shall you do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother: so shall you put away the evil from the midst of you.

¹⁶ I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer; I beg him with my mouth.

¹⁷ My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.

² "How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.

⁵ I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

¹³ He who gives answer before he hears, That is folly and shame to him.

¹⁵ but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don't want to be a judge of these matters."
