29
Let it not be thy will to destroy those who have had the ways of cattle; but regard those who have gloriously taught thy law.
30
Be not angry with those who are deemed worse than beasts; but love those who have always put their trust in thy glory.
31
For we and our fathers have passed our lives in ways that bring death, but thou, because of us sinners, are called merciful.
32
For if thou hast desired to have pity on us, who have no works of righteousness, then thou wilt be called merciful.
33
For the righteous, who have many works laid up with thee, shall receive their reward in consequence of their own deeds.
