1 “Why aren't ithayam (times) tzapan (laid) up by the Shaday ()? Why don't those who yadai (know) him chazah (see) his yawam (day)?
2 There are people who nashag (remove) the gabalawath (landmarks). They violently gazal (take) away idar (flocks), and raih (feed) them.
3 They nahag (drive) away the donkey of the yathawam (fatherless), and they take the alamanah (widow's) shawar (ox) for a chabal (pledge).
4 They natah (turn) the abayawan (needy) out of the darak (way). The abayawan (poor) of the aratz (Earth/land) yachad (all) chabaa (hide) themselves.
5 Behold, as paraa (wild) donkeys in the madabar (desert), they yatzaa (go out / come out) forth to their pail (work), shachar (seeking) diligently for food. The irabah (wilderness) yields them lacham (bread) for their nairayam (children).
6 They qatzar (cut) their balayal (provender) in the shadah (field). They glean the karam (vineyard) of the rashai (wicked).
7 They lie all lawan (night) irawam (naked) without labawash (clothing), and have no kasawath (covering) in the qarah (cold).
8 They are ratab (wet) with the zaram (showers) of the harayam (mountains), and chabaq (embrace) the tzawar (rock) for lack of a machasah (shelter).
9 There are those who gazal (pluck) the yathawam (fatherless) from the shad (breast), and take a chabal (pledge) of the inay (poor),
10 So that they halak (move) around irawam (naked) without labawash (clothing). Being raib (hungry), they nashaa (lift) the sheaves.
11 They make tzahar (oil) bayan (between) the shawar (walls) of these men. They darak (tread) yaqab (wine) presses, and tzamaa (suffer) thirst.
12 From out of the populous iyar (city), mathayam (men) naaq (groan). The napash (soul) of the chalal (wounded) shawai (cries) out, yet Alawah () doesn't shawam (place / establish / appoint) the thapalah (folly).
13 “These are of those who marad (rebel) against the awar (light). They don't nakar (know) its darak (ways), nor stay in its nathayab (paths).
14 The ratzach (murderer) qawam (rise up) with the awar (light). He qatal (kills) the inay (poor) and inay (needy). In the layal (night) he is like a ganab (thief).
15 The iyan (eye) also of the naap (adulterer) shamar (keep/guard) for the nashap (twilight), amar (said), ‘No iyan (eye) shall shawar (see) me.’ He sathar (secret / hidden) his panayam (face).
16 In the chashak (darkness) they chathar (dig) through bathayam (houses). They shut themselves up in the yawamam (by day). They don't yadai (know) the awar (light).
17 For the baqar (morning) is to yachad (all) of them like thick tzalamawath (darkness), for they nakar (know) the balahawath (terrors) of the thick tzalamawath (darkness).
18 “They are foam on the surface of the panay (face of). Their chalaqah (portion) is qalal (cursed) in the aratz (Earth/land). They don't panah (turn) into the darak (way) of the karamayam (vineyards).
19 Tzayah (drought) and cham (heat) gazal (consume) the shalag (snow) mayamay (waters), so does shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) those who have chataa (sinned).
20 The racham (show mercy / love) shall shakach (forget) him. The ramah (worm) shall mathaq (feed) sweetly on him. He shall be no more zakar (remember). Iwal (unrighteousness) shall be shabar (broken) as a itz (tree).
21 He raih (devours) the iqar (barren) who don't yalad (birth / begot). He shows no yatab (kindness) to the alamanah (widow).
22 Yet Alahayam () preserves the abayar (mighty) by his kach (strength / mighty / power). He qawam (rise up) up who has no aman (believe / have faith) of chay (life).
23 Alahayam () gives them security, and they shain (rest) in it. His iyan (eye) are on their darak (ways).
24 They are ramam (exalted); yet a mait (little) while, and they are gone. Yes, they are makak (brought) low, they are qapatz (taken) out of the qapatz (way) as all others, and are namal (cut) off as the raash (head) of the shabal (ears) of grain.
25 If it isn't so apaw (now), who will prove me a kazab (liar), and shawam (place / establish / appoint) my speech worth al (toward)?”
