I say, “Guard the sovereign’s command because of the oath before Elohim.
“And why have you not guarded the oath of יהוה and the command that I gave you?”
Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
My son, fear יהוה and the sovereign; Do not mingle with those who change;
And all the rulers and the mighty men, and also all the sons of Sovereign Dawiḏ
But the sovereign spared Mephiḇ
let an oath of יהוה be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbour’s goods. And the owner of it shall accept that, and he does not repay.
And the people came into the woods and saw the honey, dripping. But no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
