  Who cannot understand;
  They all look to their own way,
  Every one for his own gain,
  From his own territory.

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

  Except to see them with their eyes?
