The just is the first accuser of himself; his friend arrives and shall investigate him.
He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; But his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
He who states his case first seems right, until his rival comes and cross-examines him.
He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; But his neighbor cometh and searcheth him out.
The first person to testify seems innocent, until the other comes and cross-examines him.
The just is first accuser of himself: his friend cometh, and shall search him.
