Apabila ranting-rantingnya kering, ranting-ranting itu akan patah; perempuan-perempuan datang dan membakarnya. Sebab ia bukanlah bangsa yang berpengertian; karena itu Dia yang menjadikannya tidak akan menyayanginya, dan Dia yang membentuknya tidak akan mengasihaninya.

R. Ammi also said : Great is knowledge which is placed between two references to the Divine Name ; as it is said, "For a God of knowledge is the Lord" (I Sam. ii. 3). It is forbidden to have mercy upon one who does not possess knowledge ; as it is said, "For it is a people of no understanding, therefore He that made them will not have compassion upon them" (Is. xxvii. 11).
