27:26 Lambs [are] for thy clothing, And the price of the field [are] he-goats,

27:27 And a sufficiency of goats' milk [is] for thy bread, For bread to thy house, and life to thy damsels!

28:1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.

28:2 By the transgression of a land many [are] its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged.

28:12 In the exulting of the righteous the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.
