Who among you has the gentle herd, the cattle of men, whose cowherd is shining? Those who seized it, may they produce offspring; may they create progeny among the flocks.
Who have disunited my people from the cattle? was there not for them an invincible protector? may they who have seized upon that (people) perish, for he who knows (our wishes) approaches to (protect) the cattle.
Who separate my young bull from the cattle, they whose protector was in truth no stranger? Let those whose hands have seized upon them free them. May he, observant, drive the herd to us-ward.
