Do not say, “Who can prevail against me?” for the Lord will exact punishment.

and say thou not, As I might, either who shall make me subject for my deeds? For why God (a)venging shall (a)venge. [and not say thou, What manner might I, or who me shall subject for my deeds? God forsooth venging shall venge.]
