12. The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
13. As saith the proverb of the ancients, Out of the wicked cometh forth wickedness: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
14. After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
