If you should see extortion of [the] needy and seizure by lawsuit and judicial right in a place, you should not wonder over the thing; for a high one shall guard above a high one, and high ones over them.

εάν συκοφαντίαν πένητος και αρπαγήν κρίματος και δικαιοσύνης ίδης εν χώρα μη θαυμάσης επί τω πράγματι ότι υψηλός επάνω υψηλού φυλάξει και υψήλοι επ΄ αυτοίς
