8
Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds before they be withered.
9
Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness; let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place; for this is our portion, and our lot is this.
10
Let us oppress the poor righteous man; let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.
11
Let our strength be the law of justice; for that which is feeble is found to be worth nothing.
12
Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous, because he is not for our way, and he is clean contrary to our doings; he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy, the transgressings against our education.
