Translated Text:
Lord, I ask You this:
What is the punishment for him
who promotes the rule of the wrongful with evil actions,
and for him who has no other work in life
than to commit crime
against the cattle and the men of a harmless settler?
Commentary:
The questions are as to what happens to one who, with his evil actions, helps to support a wrongful person and what happens to one whose only object is to harm and hurt peaceful people and their cattle. The answer, provoked by the questions, is: evil consequences.
Pondering Point:
“Helping a harmful cause is no different than actually committing the harmful act.”
