Today’s scripture at Davos borrowed from Matthew 5:25-26 KJV

25Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

26Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

and our hymn of the day: “Shall we gather at the Grifter”

FYI about the phrase “Nobody here but us chickens” according to Wikipedia:

Its first known appearance was as the punch line of a reader-submitted anecdote in Everybody’s Magazine in 1908, in which a chicken thief tries to evade detection by tremulously telling the investigating owner, “‘Deed, sah, dey ain’t nobody hyah ‘ceptin’ us chickens.” From there, it was picked up by newspapers and reprinted far and wide.
