34
Whether one does evil to them or good, they will not be able to repay it. They cannot set up a king or depose one.
35
Likewise they are not able to give either wealth or money; if one makes a vow to them and does not keep it, they will not require it.
36
They cannot save a man from death or rescue the weak from the strong.
37
They cannot restore sight to a blind man; they cannot rescue a man who is in distress.
38
They cannot take pity on a widow or do good to an orphan.
