12 ^kMay the Lord judge between me and you, may the Lord avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you. 13 As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness.’ But my hand shall not be against you. 14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? ^lAfter a dead dog! ^mAfter a flea! 15 ^kMay the Lord therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you, and see to it and ⁿplead my cause and deliver me from your hand.”
