“Thy share is nought, O cheat! Did we not solemnly agree that I was to
take everything which thou shouldst earn? How could I break our
agreement? Would this not be a very wicked thing to do, now would it
not?”
Falsehood held her peace and went away, well knowing that she had been
foiled in her attempt to cheat her friend Wickedness. True indeed is
the proverb: “Falsehood begets much, but Wickedness taketh all that
away.”
(Yalḳuṭ, Psalms § 638.)
