This verse continues with the argument, with the aim of inciting the emotions and the compassionate feelings of men through a fine touch that:

      How dare of you to waste the definite and certain rights of a woman with whom you have lain and made love and have had a solemn and firm covenant!? Have you not a human conscience to blame and reproach you - ``And how would you take it when you have lain with each other, and a firm covenant has been taken from you?''
