7. Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and perfumes; And let no flower of spring pass us by:
8. Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
9. Let none of us go without his share in our proud revelry: Everywhere let us leave tokens of our mirth: Because this is our portion, and our lot is this.
10. Let us oppress the righteous poor; Let us not spare the widow, Nor reverence the hairs of the old man gray for length of years.
11. But let our strength be to us a law of righteousness; For that which is weak is found to be of no service.
12. But let us lie in wait for the righteous man, Because he is of disservice to us, And is contrary to our works, And upbraids us with sins against the law, And lays to our charge sins against our discipline.
13. He professes to have knowledge of God, And names himself servant of the Lord.
