Thou shalt not be the chefest: For thou hast clymmed vp vpon thy fathers bed, euen than defyledest thou my couch with goynge vp. 5 Symeon and Leui brethren, their deedly weapens are perlous instrumentes. 6 In to their secretes come not my soule, and my worshipe be not ioyned with their congregacion: for in their wrath they slew a man, and in their selfwyll they houghed an oxe. 7 Cursed be their wrath, because it is so fearce: and their indignacion, because it is so rigorous.
