(Heis euⱪomenos, kai heis katarōmenos, tinos fōnaʸs eisakousetai ho destotaʸs; )

BrTr When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear?

WEBBE The city will murmur at him who is a stingy with his food.
⇔ The testimony of his stinginess will be accurate.

KJB-1611 But against him that is a niggard of his meate, the whole citie shall murmure; and the testimonies of his niggardnesse shall not be doubted of.
