Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring afire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And bshuts his eyes from seeing evil:
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.
The Land of the Majestic King
a“Where is the scribe?
Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
bA people of obscure speech, beyond perception,
Of a1 stammering tongue that you cannot understand.
Your eyes will see bJerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
cNot one of dits stakes will ever be removed,
Nor will any of its cords be broken.

That stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood "Who stoppeth his ears to the proposal of bloodshed" - A MS. reads bedamim , "in blood."
