[45] “_Wer dem Arbeiter seinen Lohn nicht gibt, der ist ein Bluthund._”
(Cap. xxxv. 27.) Our less energetic version pictures the same enormity:
“The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof
is a man of blood.” (Ecclesiasticus, xxxiv. 21.) The prophet Jeremiah

unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbor’s
service _without wages_, and giveth him not for his work.” Chap. xxii.
