The words of the wise are heard in quiet, more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among fools.

The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and will not be answered.

Cries of anguish raised from Heshbon and Elealeh will be sounded as far as Jahaz. They will be sounded from Zoar as far as Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah. For even the waters of Nimrim will be dried up.
