And my failing to support close friends with what
I leave consoling false friends to what
my hand obtains is injustice to them and disloyalty.
My hands reap of injustice and wrong for them,

And I am indeed ashamed before God to be seen
And I am ashamed before God should I seem
living at ease while my friend is in straits.
To have room to move while a friend is confined.
