| 4 | Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. | Est-ce que, restant (non vendu), il ne restait pas à toi ? et, vendu, ne demeurait pas en ta possession ? Comment as-tu mis en ton coeur un pareil dessein ? Ce n'est point aux hommes que tu as menti, mais à Dieu." | While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power?
