“Call for help, Job, if you think anyone will answer! To which of the holy angels will you turn? The hot temper of a fool eventually kills him, the jealous anger of an idiot does her in.

Hungry people off the street plunder their harvests, cleaning them out completely, taking thorns and all, insatiable for everything they have.
