¹⁵ And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.

¹⁴ And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed -- the same day,

¹⁵ Elder, and accepted of face, he `is' the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he `is' the tail.

² The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy `art' thou, and good `is' to thee.

²³ In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips `is' only to want.

¹⁷ Though the fig-tree doth not flourish, And there is no produce among vines, Failed hath the work of the olive, And fields have not yielded food, Cut off from the fold hath been the flock, And there is no herd in the stalls.

¹¹ And I proclaim draught on the land, And on the mountains, and on the corn, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground doth bring forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labour of the hands.'

¹¹ and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we did command you,

¹² that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.
