43 But [1161] know [1097] this [1565], that [3754] if [1487] the goodman of the house [3617] had known [1492] in what [4169] watch [5438] the thief [2812] would come [2064], he would [302] have watched [1127], and [2532] would [302] not [3756] have suffered [1439] his [846] house [3614] to be broken up [1358].
