| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Who can produce a clean thing from an unclean thing? No one! |

| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Even if its roots have grown ancient in the earth, and its stump begins to rot in the ground, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9the presence of water will make it to bud so that it sprouts new branches like a young plant. |
