7 And a few that dwelt in the land of En did make them a stand, saying, What we have given unto you, it is enough. Therefore, get ye hence, ye men of Ire.
8 And the men of Ire waxed very wroth, and they did curse the men of En and did swear strange oaths concerning them, so that they that were weak amongst the rulers began to shiver in their sandals.
9 And they held them a council together in secret and did agitate themselves greatly, seeking for a means whereby they might escape from the wrath of the men of Ire, for it was a terrible wrath, being very ugly.
10 And after one had said one thing and another had said another thing, then did all them that were gathered together make them an agreement, and they did give unto the men of Ire all those things that they had demanded.
11 And the men of Ire prepared them long faces and did get them ready for another occasion. Neither was the day ever known when any man that was from Ire did render thanks for that which he had received.
12 ¶ And class quarrelled with class, the artisan with the master, the noble with the serf, the priests with the people, and the fools with one another.
13 And all those that thought one thing did contend with them that did think another thing, and the bickering that was between them, it was very great.
14 ¶ And there were those amongst the priests that did travel about the country, crying out in a loud voice, and saying, Wickedness! Wickedness! All is wickedness!
15 And they did say many things concerning the young men and concerning the damsels, and also concerning them both together. And those that listened unto them were amazed that such things should be; and some there were that doubted.
16 And the priests did raise their hands unto heaven, saying, Deliver us from evil. And the people did drop their hands towards the earth, saying, Deliver us from the priests.
