21. You are like those streams to me,you see my fate and draw back in fear.
22. Have I asked you to give me a giftor to bribe someone on my behalf
23. or to save me from some enemy or tyrant?
24. All right, teach me; tell me my faults.I will be quiet and listen to you.
25. Honest words are convincing,but you are talking nonsense.
26. You think I am talking nothing but wind;then why do you answer my words of despair?
27. You would even throw dice for orphan slavesand make yourselves rich off your closest friends!
