⁵ And `one' hath said, `I am not a prophet, A man, a tiller of ground I am, For ground `is' my possession from my youth.'

⁶ And `one' hath said unto him, `What `are' these wounds in thy hands?' And he hath said, `Because I was smitten `at' home by my lovers.'

²¹ `And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,

¹⁰ and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.
