אֱלֹהִים לֹא תְקַלֵּל וְנָשִׂיא בְעַמְּךָ לֹא תָאֹֽר׃
Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
גַּם בְּמַדָּֽעֲךָ מֶלֶךְ אַל-תְּקַלֵּל וּבְחַדְרֵי מִשְׁכָּבְךָ אַל-תְּקַלֵּל עָשִׁיר כִּי עוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם יוֹלִיךְ אֶת-הַקּוֹל וּבַעַל (הכנפים) כְּנָפַיִם יַגֵּיד דָּבָֽר׃
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
Ὁμοίως μέντοι καὶ οὗτοι ἐνυπνιαζόμενοι σάρκα μὲν μιαίνουσιν κυριότητα δὲ ἀθετοῦσιν δόξας δὲ βλασφημοῦσιν
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
μάλιστα δὲ τοὺς ὀπίσω σαρκὸς ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ μιασμοῦ πορευομένους καὶ κυριότητος καταφρονοῦντας Τολμηταί αὐθάδεις δόξας οὐ τρέμουσιν βλασφημοῦντες
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
δι' ἐτῶν δὲ πλειόνων παρεγενόμην ἐλεημοσύνας ποιήσων εἰς τὸ ἔθνος μου καὶ προσφοράς
Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
