3. And he came, and said, Father, one of our race is strangled, and is cast out in the marketplace.
4. And before I had tasted anything, I sprang up, and took him up into a chamber until the sun was set.
5. And I returned, and washed myself, and ate my bread in heaviness,
6. and remembered the prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, And all your mirth into lamentation.
7. And I wept: and when the sun was set, I went and made a grave, and buried him.
8. And my neighbors mocked me, and said, He is no longer afraid to be put to death for this matter: and yet he fled away: and, behold, he buries the dead again.
