  the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her
  womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
  Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and
  said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed
  is the fruit of your womb! But why is this
  granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should
  come to me? For indeed, as soon as the voice of
  your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped
  in my womb for joy.

  harm follows, then you shall give life for life,
  eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot
  for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe
  for stripe.
