From Where Have You Come
From where have you come?

From going to and fro on the earth
And from walking up and down
Does he fear you for no reason?
Have you not put a hedge around him and his house
And all that he has on every side?
Have blessed the work of his hands

Behold, all that he has is in your hand
Only against him, do not stretch out your hand
There is none like him
A blameless and upright man who fears and turns away
From evil

Skin for skin!
All that a man has he will give for his life
But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh
And he will curse to your face
Touch his bone and his flesh
Behold, he is in your hand
Only spare his life

You speak as one of the foolish would speak
Shall we receive good, and shall we not receive evil?
