That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:

As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
