|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. | Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray. | For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside. |
