1. They spoke to me angrily and rudely
That you went to him seeking refuge

2. Then they said his beard had been shaven
I said it must inevitably be replaced

3. Surely, shaving the beard is better for the youth
Oh nephews, than having it plucked out

4. And he who shaved half of his beard
Was equitable and just in his judgments

5. He shaved half for a present sin
And pardoned with the half what was past
