11. Now, my father, see, yes, see, the hem of your robe in my hand! For when I cut the hem of your robe I did not kill you. Know and realize that there is no evil or rebellion in my hand. I did not sin against you, but you are hunting down my life to take it.
12. May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me on you, but my hand will not be against you!
13. Just as the ancient proverb says, ‘From the wicked, wickedness goes out,’ but my hand will not be against you!
14. After whom did the king of Israel go out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog? After one flea?
15. May Yahweh be the judge, and let him judge between me and you, and may he see and plead my case. May he vindicate me against you!”
