“The supplications of five people will not be answered: a man whose wife bothers him and he doesn’t divorce her, even though he can pay the expenses of divorcing her; a man whose slave has escaped three times, but still he doesn’t sell him; a man who passes by a semi-broken down wall and the wall falls upon him, and he doesn’t escape; a man who has given a loan to another one, and has not taken anyone as a witness for it; and a man who sits in his house and says, ‘O God! Please grant my daily bread!’ and who does not go to work.’
