What shall I do for thee? how shall I relieve thee, who am myself poor? What hast thou in the house, which may contribute to the payment of thy debts, or, at least, to the satisfaction of thy creditors, who may perchance deal favourably with thee through my persuasion? Save a pot of oil; which was useful for divers things about the service of God, and health, or delight, or ornament, and other uses of men. See Judges 9:9.
