Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?	When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, [as thou art] in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.	I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
