Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah hath withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
Now þerfor, my lord, þe Lord lyueth, and thi soule lyueth, which Lord forbeed þee, lest thou schuldist come in to blood, and he sauede thi soule to þee; and now thin enemyes, and þei þat seken yuel to my lord, be maad as Nabal.
