Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.

You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you. Light shall shine on your ways.
When they cast down, you shall say, 'be lifted up.' He will save the humble person.
He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."
