  • 90:1

    I swear by this land.

  • 90:2

    While you are a legal resident at this land.

    Does he think that no one is able to best him?

  • 90:6

    He says: "I spent so much money!"

  • 90:7

    Does he think that no one saw him?

  • 90:10

    We guided him to both paths?

  • 90:12

    Do you know which the better path is?

  • 90:13

    The freeing of slaves.

  • 90:14

    Or the feeding on a day of great hardship.

  • 90:19

  • 90:20

    Upon them is a fire closed over.
