³¹ And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.

¹ `When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.

² `If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;

³ if the sun hath risen upon him, blood `is' for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;

⁴ if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep -- double he repayeth.

⁶ and the ewe-lamb he doth repay fourfold, because that he hath done this thing, and because that he had no pity.'

¹⁸ He is giving back `what' he laboured for, And doth not consume `it'; As a bulwark `is' his exchange, and he exults not.

²⁵ and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.

⁸ And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, `Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'
