27:17. He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with
it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.
27:18. He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a
booth.

27:22. And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand
he would willingly flee.
27:23. He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him,
beholding his place.
