Job 24 And why did the seasons not escape notice by the lord?

1 G1302 And why did G1161 G2962 [⁴ by the lord G3756 ²not G2990 ³escape notice G5610 ¹ the seasons]?

2 G765 And the impious G1161 G3725 [² the border G5233 ¹passed over], G4168 [²a flock G4862 ³with G4166 ⁴shepherd G726 ¹seizing].

3 G5268 [²a beast of burden G1161 ¹And] G3737 of orphans G520 they took away, G2532 and G1016 oxen G5503 of widows G1757.2 for security.

4 G1578 They turned aside G102 the disabled G1537 from G3598 [²way G1342 ¹ the just]; G3661 with one accord G2928 [³was hidden G4239 ¹ the gentle G1093 ²of the earth].

5 G576 And they resulted G1161 G5618 as if G3688 donkeys G1722 in G68 the field G5228 [²for G1473 ³me G1831 ¹going forth] G3588 on G1438 their own G4234 action; G2237.1 [⁵is delicious G1473 ¹their G740 ²bread G1519 ³for G3501 ⁴ the young].

6 G68 [²a field G4253 ⁵before G5610 ⁶ its season G3756 ³not G1473 ⁴being their own G1510.6 G2325 ¹They harvested]; G102 and the disabled G1161 G290 [² the vineyards G765 ³of the impious G284.1 ⁴without pay G2532 ⁵and G777 ⁶without eating G2038 ¹worked].

7 G1131 [³naked G4183 ²many G2838.1 ¹They rested] G427 without G2440 clothes; G292.1 [³clothing G1161 ¹and G5590 ⁴ necessary for their life G1473 G851 ²they removed].

8 G575 From G5568.6 the mists G3735 of the mountains G5199.2 they are wetted; G3844 from G3588 G3361 [²not holding G2192 G1473 ³to them G4629.2 ¹protection] G4073 [² with rock G4016 ¹they covered themselves].

9 G726 They seized G3737 the orphan G575 from G3149 the breast, G1601 [³the one falling off G1161 ¹and G5013 ²they humbled].

10 G1131 And of naked ones G1161 G2838.1 they rested G95 wrongfully, G3983 and of ones hungering G1161 G3588 [²the G5596.1 ³morsel G851 ¹they removed].

11 G1722 In G4728 narrows G95 they wrongly G1748 lie in wait; G3598 and the way G1161 G1342 of the just G3756 they knew not. G1492

12 G3739 The ones G1537 from G4172 the city G2532 and G3624 [²houses G2398 ¹ the ones of their own] G1544 they cast out; G5590 and the soul G1161 G3516 of the infants G4727 moaned G3173 greatly.

13 G1473 [³did he G1161 ¹But G1302 ²why G3778 ⁵these G1984 ⁴in overseeing] G3756 not G4160 act G1909 [²upon G1093 ³ the earth G1510.6 ¹in their being]? G1473 G2532 and G3756 they did not G1921 recognize, G3598 and the way G1161 G1343 of righteousness G3756 they knew not, G1492 G3761 nor G824.2 [²by their short-cuts G1473 G4198 ¹were gone].

14 G1097 But knowing G1161 G1473 their G3588 G2041 works G3860 he delivered G1473 them G1519 unto G4655 darkness; G2532 and G3571 night G1510.8.3 will be G5613 as G2812 a thief.

15 G2532 And G3788 the eye G3432 of the adulterer G5442 watched G4655 for the darkness, G3004 saying, G3756 [²will not G4306 ³think of me beforehand G1473 G3788 ¹ The eye]; G2532 and G612.1 [²a concealment G4383 ³ for his face G5087 ¹he put].

16 G1358 [³he dug through G1722 ¹In G4655 ²darkness] G3614 houses; G2250 by day G4972 they seal up G1438 themselves. G3756 they do not G1921 know G5457 the light.

17 G3754 For G3661 with one accord G1473 to them G4404 in the morning G4639 is the shadow G2288 of death; G3754 for G1921 each shall realize G5016 the disturbances G4639 of the shadow G2288 of death.

18 G1645 He is light G1510.2.3 G1909 upon G4383 the face G5204 of the water; G2672 may [²be cursed G3588 G3310 ¹their portion] G1473 G1909 upon G1093 the earth; G398 [²may ⁴appear G1161 ¹and G3588 G5452.1 ³their plants G1473

19 G1909 ⁶upon G1093 ⁷ the earth G3584 ⁵dry]; G43.1 for armfuls G1063 G3737 of orphans G726 they seized by force.

20 G1534 So then G363 [³is called to mind G1473 ¹his G3588 G266 ²sin], G5618 and as G1161 G3658.1 fog G1408.1 of dew G852 [²vanishes G1096 ¹he]; G591 and may it be recompensed G1161 G1473 to him G3739 what G4238 he acted; G4937 [²may ⁵be destroyed G1161 ¹and G3956 ³every G94 ⁴unjust one] G2470 equally G3586 [²wood G446.3 ¹as incurable rotten].

21 G4723 For the sterile woman G1063 G3756 [²not G2095 ⁴well G4160 ¹he did ³do], G2532 and G1134.2 on the helpless woman G3756 he did not G1653 show mercy.

22 G2372 And in rage G1161 G2690 he overturned G102 the disabled; G450 [²in rising up G5105 ¹accordingly], G3766.2 in no way G4100 shall he trust G2596 in G3588 G1438 his own G2222 life.

23 G3119.1 In being infirm, G3361 let him not hope G1679 G5197.2 to be healed! G235 but G4098 he shall fall G3554 in disease.

24 G4183 [⁴many G1063 ¹For G2559 ³afflicted G3588 G5313 ²his arrogance]; G1473 G3133 but he withered G1161 G5618 as G3434.1 a mallow plant G1722 in G2738 sweltering heat, G2228 and G5618 as G4719 an ear of corn G575 [²from G2562 ³ the stubble G844 ⁴by itself G634 ¹falling off].

25 G1490 But if not, G5100 who G1510.2.3 is G3588 the one G5346 saying G5571 [³falsely G1473 ¹for me G3004 ²to speak], G2532 and G5087 he renders G1519 [²as G3762 ³nothing G3588 G4487 ¹my words]? G1473

1 H6256 Why, seeing times H6845 [H8738] are not hid H7706 from the Almighty, H3045 [H8802] do they that know H2372 [H8804] him not envision H3117 his days?

2 H5381 [H8686] Some remove H1367 the landmarks; H1497 [H8804] they pluck away H5739 flocks, H7462 [H8799] and their feed.

3 H5090 [H8799] They drive away H2543 the donkey H3490 of the fatherless, H2254 0 they take H490 the widow's H7794 ox H2254 [H8799] for a pledge.

4 H5186 [H8686] They turn H34 the needy H1870 out of the way: H6041 H6035 [H8675] the poor H776 of the earth H2244 [H8795] hide H3162 themselves together.

5 H6501 Behold, as wild donkeys H4057 in the desert, H3318 [H8804] they go forth H6467 to their work; H7836 [H8764] rising early H2964 for a prey: H6160 the wilderness H3899 yieldeth food H5288 for them and for their children.

6 H7114 H7114 [H8799] They reap H1098 every one his grain H7704 in the field: H3953 [H8762] and they gather H3754 the vintage H7563 of the wicked.

7 H6174 They cause the naked H3885 [H8686] to lodge H3830 without clothing, H3682 that they have no covering H7135 in the cold.

8 H7372 [H8799] They are wet H2230 with the showers H2022 of the mountains, H2263 [H8765] and embrace H6697 the rock H4268 for want of a shelter.

9 H1497 [H8799] They pluck H3490 the fatherless H7699 from the breast, H2254 [H8799] and take a pledge H6041 of the poor.

10 H1980 [H8765] They cause him to go H6174 naked H3830 without clothing, H5375 [H8804] and they take away H6016 the sheaf H7457 from the hungry;

11 H6671 [H8686] Who make oil H996 within H7791 their walls, H1869 [H8804] and tread H3342 their winepresses, H6770 [H8799] and suffer thirst.

12 H4962 Men H5008 [H8799] groan H5892 from out of the city, H5315 and the breath H2491 of the wounded H7768 [H8762] hallooeth: H433 yet God H7760 [H8799] layeth H8604 not folly to them.

13 H4775 [H8802] They are of those that rebel H216 against the light; H5234 [H8689] they know H1870 not its ways, H3427 [H8804] nor abide H5410 in its paths.

14 H7523 [H8802] The murderer H6965 [H8799] rising H216 with the light H6991 [H8799] killeth H6041 the poor H34 and needy, H3915 and in the night H1590 is as a thief.

15 H5869 The eye H5003 [H8802] also of the adulterer H8104 [H8804] waiteth H5399 for the twilight, H559 [H8800] saying, H5869 No eye H7789 [H8799] shall see H5643 H7760 [H8799] me: and disguiseth H6440 his face.

16 H2822 In the dark H2864 [H8804] they dig through H1004 houses, H2856 [H8765] which they had marked H3119 for themselves in the daytime: H3045 [H8804] they know H216 not the light.

17 H1242 For the morning H3162 is to them even as H6757 the shadow of death: H5234 [H8686] if one knoweth H1091 them, they are in the terrors H6757 of the shadow of death.

18 H7031 He is swift H6440 H4325 as the waters; H2513 their portion H7043 [H8792] is cursed H776 in the earth: H6437 [H8799] he beholdeth H1870 not the way H3754 of the vineyards.

19 H6723 Drought H2527 and heat H1497 [H8799] consume H7950 the snow H4325 waters: H7585 so doth the grave H2398 [H8804] those who have sinned.

20 H7358 The womb H7911 [H8799] shall forget H7415 him; the worm H4988 [H8804] shall feed sweetly H2142 [H8735] on him; he shall be no more remembered; H5766 and distortion H7665 [H8735] shall be broken H6086 as a tree.

21 H7462 [H8802] He wrongeth H6135 the barren H3205 [H8799] that beareth H3190 [H8686] not: and doeth not good H490 to the widow.

22 H4900 [H8804] He draweth H47 also the mighty H3581 with his power: H6965 [H8799] he riseth up, H539 [H8686] and no man is sure H2416 of life.

23 H5414 [H8799] Though it is given H983 him to be in safety, H8172 [H8735] on which he resteth; H5869 yet his eyes H1870 are upon their ways.

24 H7426 [H8804] They are exalted H4592 for a little while, H4355 [H8717] but are gone and brought low; H7092 [H8735] they are taken out H1870 of the way H5243 [H8799] as all others, and cut off H7218 as the tops H7641 of the heads of grain.

25 H645 And if it is not so now, H7760 [H8799] who will make H3576 [H8686] me a liar, H7760 [H8799] and make H4405 my speech H408 of no worth?

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Considering then that there is no time hid from the Almighty, how happeneth it, that they which know him, will not regard his days? ² For some men there be, that remove other men's landmarks; that rob them of their cattle, and keep the same for their own; ³ that drive away the ass of the fatherless; that take the widow's ox for a pledge; ⁴ that thrust the poor out of the way, and oppress the simple of the world together. ⁵ Behold, even as the wild asses in the desert go they forth to their work, and rise betimes to spoil: Yea, the very wilderness ministereth food for them and their children. by times, as their manner is, to spoil: Yea the very wilderness ministereth food for their children. ⁶ They reap the corn field that is not their own; and let the vineyard of the ungodly alone. ⁷ They are the cause that so many men are naked and bare, having no clothes to cover them and keep them from cold; ⁸ So that when the showers in the mountains have rained upon them, and they be all wet, they have none other succour, but to embrace the rock for want of a covering. ⁹ They spoil the sucking fatherless children, and put the poor in prison, ¹⁰ insomuch that they let him go naked without clothing, and take way the sheaf of the hungry. ¹¹ The poor are fain to labour in their oil mills, yea and to tread in their wine presses, and yet to suffer thirst. ¹² "The whole city crieth unto the LORD with sighing, the souls of the slain make their complaint: But God destroyeth them not for all this, ¹³ whereas they, notwithstanding, are rebellious and disobedient enemies: which seek not his light and way, nor turn again in to his path. ¹⁴ Timely in the morning do they arise, to murder the simple and poor, and in the night they go a stealing. ¹⁵ The eye of the ungodly is like the adulterer, that waiteth for the darkness, and sayeth thus in himself, 'Tush, there shall no man see me,' and so he disguiseth his face. ¹⁶ In the night season they search the houses, and hide themselves in the daytime, but will not know the light. ¹⁷ For as soon as the day breaketh, the shadow of death cometh upon them, and they go in horrible darkness. ¹⁸ "The ungodly is very swift: O that his portion also upon earth were swifter than the running water, which suffereth not the shipman to behold the fair and pleasant vineyards. ¹⁹ O that they, for the wickedness which they have done, were drawn to the hell, sooner than snow melteth at the heat. ²⁰ O that all compassion upon them were forgotten: that their dainties were worms, that they were clean put out of remembrance, and utterly hewn down like an unfruitful tree. ²¹ For they maintain the barren, and make them that they cannot bear, and unto widows they do no good. ²² They pluck down the mighty with their power, and when they themselves are gotten up, they are never without fear, as long as they live. ²³ And though they might be safe, yet they will not receive it, for their eyes look upon their own ways. ²⁴ They are exalted for a little, but shortly are they gone, brought to extreme poverty, and taken out of the way: yea, and utterly plucked off, as the ears of corn. ²⁵ Is it not so? Who will then reprove me as a liar, and say that my words are nothing worth?"

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Consyderinge then that there is no tyme hyd from the almighty, how happeneth it, that they whyche know him, will not regarde his dayes? ² For some men there be, that remoue other mens landemarkes, that robbe them of their catell, and kepe the same for their owne: ³ that driue away the asse of the fatherlesse, that take the wyddowes oxe for a pledge: ⁴ that thrust the poore oute of the waie, and oppresse the simple of the worlde together. ⁵ Beholde, the wilde asses in the deserte go by tymes, as their maner is, to spoyle: Yea, the very wyldernesse mynystreth fode for their children. ⁶ They reape the corne feld that is not their owne and gather the grapes oute of hys vineyard, whome they haue oppressed by vyolence. ⁷ They are the cause that so many men are naked and bare, hauinge no clothes to couer them and kepe them from coulde: ⁸ So that when the showers in the mountaynes haue rayned vpon them, and they be all wet, they haue none other succoure, but to kepe them among the rockes. ⁹ They spoyle the sucking fatherlesse children and put the dore in preson. ¹⁰ In so muche that they let them go naked withoute clothinge, and yet the hungry beare the sheues. ¹¹ The poore are fayne to laboure in their oyle mylles, yea and to treade in their wyne presses, & yet to suffre thyrst. ¹² The whole cyty cryeth vnto the Lorde with syghynge, the soules of the slayne make their complainte. But God destroieth them not for al this, ¹³ where as they (notwithstandinge) are rebellious and disobedient enemies: whiche seke not his lyghte and waye, nor turne agayne into hys pathe. ¹⁴ Tymely in the mornynge do they aryse, to murthur the simple and poore, & in the night they go a stealynge. ¹⁵ The eye of the vngodly is lyke the aduouterer, that wayteth for the darckenesse, & sayeth thus in hym selfe: Tush, there shall no man se me, & so he disgyseth his face. ¹⁶ In the nighte ceason they searche the houses, and hyd them selues in the day tyme, but wyll not knowe the light. ¹⁷ For as sone as the daye breaketh, the shadow of death commeth vpon them, & they go in horrible darcknesse. ¹⁸ The vngodly is very swyft.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes? ² Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof. ³ They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge. ⁴ They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together. ⁵ Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode. ⁶ They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked. ⁷ They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde. ⁸ They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering. ⁹ They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore. ¹⁰ They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie. ¹¹ They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst. ¹² Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie. ¹³ These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof. ¹⁴ The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe. ¹⁵ The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face. ¹⁶ They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light. ¹⁷ But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death. ¹⁸ He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes. ¹⁹ As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. ²⁰ The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree. ²¹ He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe. ²² He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life. ²³ Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes. ²⁴ They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne. ²⁵ But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Considering then that there is no time hyd from the almightie, how happeneth it that they which know him do not regarde his dayes ² For some men remoue the landemarkes, robbe men of their cattell, and feede of the same ³ They driue away the asse of the fatherlesse, and take the wydowes oxe for a pledge ⁴ They cause the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hyde them selues together ⁵ Beholde, as wilde asses in the desert go they foorth to their worke, & ryse betimes to spoyle: Yea the very wildernesse ministreth foode for them & their children ⁶ They reape the corne fielde that is not their owne, and let the vineyarde of the vngodly alone ⁷ They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde ⁸ They are wet with the showres of the mountaynes, and embrace the rocke for want of a couering ⁹ They plucke the fatherlesse from the brest, and take the pledge from the poore ¹⁰ They let hym go naked without clothing, and haue taken away the sheafe of the hungrie ¹¹ The poore are fayne to labour in their oyle mylles, yea and to treade in their wyne presses, and yet to suffer thirst ¹² Men out of the citie crye vnto the Lord with sighing, the soules of the slayne also crye out, yet God regardeth not their complaynt ¹³ Where as they are conuersaunt among them that abhorre the light, they know not his way, nor continue in his pathes ¹⁴ The murtherer ryseth early and killeth the poore and needy, and in the night is as a thiefe ¹⁵ The eye of the adulterer wayteth for the darkenesse, & sayth, There shall no eye see me: and disguiseth his face ¹⁶ In the darke they digge through houses, whiche they marked for them selues in the day time: they knowe not the light ¹⁷ The morning is to them euen as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death ¹⁸ [The vngodly] is swyft vpon the water: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth, and he shall not beholde the way of the vineyardes ¹⁹ As the drye grounde and heate consume the snowye waters: so shall the graue the sinners ²⁰ The pitifull man shall forget hym, he shalbe sweete to the wormes, he shalbe no more remembred, & his wickednesse shalbe broken as a tree ²¹ He hath oppressed the barren that can not beare, and vnto the wydow hath he done no good ²² He drue the mightie after hym with his power, and when he was gotten vp no man was sure of lyfe ²³ And though they gaue him to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes ²⁴ They are exalted for a litle, but [shortly] are gone, brought to pouertie, and taken out of the way, yea and vtterly pluckt of, as the eares of corne ²⁵ Is it not so?

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Times are not hid from the Almighty: but they that know him, know not his days. ² Some have removed landmarks, have taken away flocks by force, and fed them. ³ They have driven away the ass of the fatherless, and have taken away the widow's ox for a pledge. ⁴ They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth. ⁵ Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread for their children. ⁶ They reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed. ⁷ They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold: ⁸ Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones. ⁹ They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people. ¹⁰ From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn. ¹¹ They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst. ¹² Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged. ¹³ They have been rebellious to the light, they have not known his ways, neither have they returned by his paths. ¹⁴ The murderer riseth at the very break of day, he killeth the needy, and the poor man: but in the night he will be as a thief. ¹⁵ The eye of the adulterer observeth darkness, saying: No eye shall see me: and he will cover his face. ¹⁶ He diggeth through houses in the dark, as in the day they had appointed for themselves, and they have not known the light. ¹⁷ If the morning suddenly appear, it is to them the shadow of death: and they walk in darkness as if it were in light. ¹⁸ He is light upon the face of the water: cursed be his portion on the earth, let him not walk by the way of the vineyards. ¹⁹ Let him pass from the snow waters to excessive heat, and his sin even to hell. ²⁰ Let mercy forget him: may worms be his sweetness: let him be remembered no more, but be broken in pieces as an unfruitful tree. ²¹ For he hath fed the barren that beareth not, and to the widow he hath done no good. ²² He hath pulled down the strong by his might: and when he standeth up, he shall not trust to his life. ²³ God hath given him place for penance, and he abuseth it unto pride: but his eyes are upon his ways. ²⁴ They are lifted up for a little while and shall not stand, and shall be brought down as all things, and shall be taken away, and as the tops of the ears of corn they shall be broken. ²⁵ And if it be not so, who can convince me that I have lied, and set my words before God?

1 H6256 Why, seeing times H6845 are not hidden [H8738] H7706 from the Almighty H3045 , do they that know [H8802] H2372 him not see [H8804] H3117 his days?

2 H5381 Some remove [H8686] H1367 the landmarks H1497 ; they violently take away [H8804] H5739 flocks H7462 , and feed [H8799] thereof .

3 H5090 They drive away [H8799] H2543 the ass H3490 of the fatherless H2254 , they take H490 the widow's H7794 ox H2254 for a pledge [H8799] .

4 H5186 They turn [H8686] H34 the needy H1870 out of the way H6041 : the poor [H8675] H6035 H776 of the earth H2244 hide [H8795] H3162 themselves together.

5 H6501 Behold, as wild asses H4057 in the desert H3318 , go they forth [H8804] H6467 to their work H7836 ; rising betimes [H8764] H2964 for a prey H6160 : the wilderness H3899 yieldeth food H5288 for them and for their children.

6 H7114 They reap [H8799] [H8675] H7114 [H8686] H1098 every one his corn H7704 in the field H3953 : and they gather [H8762] H3754 the vintage H7563 of the wicked.

7 H6174 They cause the naked H3885 to lodge [H8686] H3830 without clothing H3682 , that they have no covering H7135 in the cold.

8 H7372 They are wet [H8799] H2230 with the showers H2022 of the mountains H2263 , and embrace [H8765] H6697 the rock H4268 for want of a shelter.

9 H1497 They pluck [H8799] H3490 the fatherless H7699 from the breast H2254 , and take a pledge [H8799] H6041 of the poor.

10 H1980 They cause him to go [H8765] H6174 naked H3830 without clothing H5375 , and they take away [H8804] H6016 the sheaf H7457 from the hungry;

11 H6671 Which make oil [H8686] H996 within H7791 their walls H1869 , and tread [H8804] H3342 their winepresses H6770 , and suffer thirst [H8799] .

13 H4775 They are of those that rebel [H8802] H216 against the light H5234 ; they know [H8689] H1870 not the ways H3427 thereof, nor abide [H8804] H5410 in the paths thereof.

14 H7523 The murderer [H8802] H6965 rising [H8799] H216 with the light H6991 killeth [H8799] H6041 the poor H34 and needy H3915 , and in the night H1590 is as a thief.

15 H5869 The eye H5003 also of the adulterer [H8802] H8104 waiteth [H8804] H5399 for the twilight H559 , saying [H8800] H5869 , No eye H7789 shall see [H8799] H5643 me: and disguiseth H7760 [H8799] H6440 his face.

16 H2822 In the dark H2864 they dig through [H8804] H1004 houses H2856 , which they had marked [H8765] H3119 for themselves in the daytime H3045 : they know [H8804] H216 not the light.

17 H1242 For the morning H3162 is to them even as H6757 the shadow of death H5234 : if one know [H8686] H1091 them, they are in the terrors H6757 of the shadow of death.

18 H7031 He is swift H6440 as the waters H4325 H2513 ; their portion H7043 is cursed [H8792] H776 in the earth H6437 : he beholdeth [H8799] H1870 not the way H3754 of the vineyards.

19 H6723 Drought H2527 and heat H1497 consume [H8799] H7950 the snow H4325 waters H7585 : so doth the grave H2398 those which have sinned [H8804] .

20 H7358 The womb H7911 shall forget [H8799] H7415 him; the worm H4988 shall feed sweetly [H8804] H2142 on him; he shall be no more remembered [H8735] H5766 ; and wickedness H7665 shall be broken [H8735] H6086 as a tree.

21 H7462 He evil entreateth [H8802] H6135 the barren H3205 that beareth [H8799] H3190 not: and doeth not good [H8686] H490 to the widow.

22 H4900 He draweth [H8804] H47 also the mighty H3581 with his power H6965 : he riseth up [H8799] H539 , and no man is sure [H8686] H2416 of life.

23 H5414 Though it be given [H8799] H983 him to be in safety H8172 , whereon he resteth [H8735] H5869 ; yet his eyes H1870 are upon their ways.

24 H7426 They are exalted [H8804] H4592 for a little while H4355 , but are gone and brought low [H8717] H7092 ; they are taken out [H8735] H1870 of the way H5243 as all other, and cut off [H8799] H7218 as the tops H7641 of the ears of corn.

25 H645 And if it be not so now H7760 , who will make [H8799] H3576 me a liar [H8686] H7760 , and make [H8799] H4405 my speech H408 nothing worth?

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But why have set times escaped the notice of the Lord; ² and the wicked transgressed all bounds; and ravaged both the flock and the shepherd? ³ They have driven away the ass of the fatherless; and taken the widow's cow for a pledge. ⁴ They have turned the weak out of the right way; and with one consent the meek of the land are hidden ⁵ and are gone away like asses in a field. They are sprung up above me in their own order. To one, bread is sweetened for his children; ⁶ others have reaped before dawn a field not their own; exhausted of strength have Worked the vineyards of the wicked without wages and without food. ⁷ They have caused many to sleep naked without covering; they have stripped them of clothing necessary for life. ⁸ These are wet with the dew of the mountains: and having no shelter they cling to a rock. ⁹ They have torn the orphan from the breast: and him who had fallen they have pressed down. ¹⁰ They have by injustice caused some to be naked; and robbed the hungry of their morsel. ¹¹ They have entrapped some unjustly in straits, and the path of justice they did not know. ¹² Some are expelled from the city and their own houses: and the soul of babes heave heavy groans. ¹³ Now why hath he not called these to account while on earth? Though they did not acknowledge; though they did not know the way of justice; did they not still go on in their courses? ¹⁴ And hath he who knew their works delivered them up to darkness? And will he be as a thief in the night? ¹⁵ When the eye of the adulterer watched for darkness; saying, No eye shall discover me; when he having put a mask on his face ¹⁶ digged through houses in the dark: [during the day they had shut themselves up; they had no acquaintance with light] ¹⁷ because the morning is to all these as the shadow of death; because the terror of the shadow of death should acknowledge them; ¹⁸ is it swift on the face of the water? The portion of these on the earth should be cursed ¹⁹ and their plants exposed dry on the ground: for they plundered the sheaf of orphans. ²⁰ Now was such a one's sin brought to remembrance? Though he was dark as the darkness of night; retribution should be made for what he hath done: and every wicked man should be broken; like a tree which cannot be healed. ²¹ Because lie did not treat the barren with tenderness, and had no compassion for a poor weak woman. ²² But overthrew the helpless with wrath: therefore when he riseth he should have no security for his own life: ²³ when sick, he should have no hopes of recovery: but should perish by his disorder. ²⁴ As his exaltation afflicted many: he should wither like mallows by heat: or like an ear of corn which fell of itself from the stalk. ²⁵ Now if this is not the case; who can say I have spoken falsehoods: and set my words at naught?

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Why, seeing times are not hid from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? ² Some remove the landmarks: they violently take away flocks, and their feed. ³ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. ⁴ They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. ⁵ Behold, as wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. ⁶ They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. ⁷ They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. ⁸ They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. ⁹ They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. ¹⁰ They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry; ¹¹ Who make oil within their walls, and tread their wine-presses, and suffer thirst. ¹² Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. ¹³ They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not its ways, nor abide in its paths. ¹⁴ The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. ¹⁵ The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. ¹⁶ In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the day-time: they know not the light. ¹⁷ For the morning is to them even as the shades of death: if one knoweth them, they are in the terrors of the shades of death. ¹⁸ He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. ¹⁹ Drouth and heat consume the snow-waters: so doth the grave those who have sinned. ²⁰ The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. ²¹ He oppresseth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. ²² He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. ²³ Though it is given him to be in safety, on which he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. ²⁴ They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all others, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. ²⁵ And if it is not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech of no worth?

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord, ² while the ungodly have passed over the bound, carrying off the flock with the shepherd? ³ They have led away, the ass of the fatherless, and taken the widow's ox for a pledge. ⁴ They have turned aside the weak from the right way: and the meek of the earth have hidden themselves together. ⁵ And they have departed like asses in the field, having gone forth on my account according to their own order: his bread is sweet to his little ones. ⁶ They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: the poor have laboured in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food. ⁷ They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes, and they have taken away the covering of their body. ⁸ They are wet with the drops of the mountains: they have embraced the rock, because they had no shelter. ⁹ They have snatched the fatherless from the breast, and have afflicted the outcast. ¹⁰ And they have wrongfully caused others to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry. ¹¹ They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, and have not known the righteous way. ¹² Who have cast forth the poor from the city and their own houses, and the soul of the children has groaned aloud. ¹³ Why then has he not visited these? forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, and they knew not the way of righteousness, neither have they walked in their appointed paths? ¹⁴ But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: and in the night one will be as a thief: ¹⁵ and the eye of the adulterer has watched for the darkness, saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on his face. ¹⁶ In darkness he digs through houses: by day they conceal themselves securely: they know not the light. ¹⁷ For the morning is to them all as the shadow of death, for each will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death. ¹⁸ He is swift on the face of the water: let his portion be cursed on the earth; and let their plants be laid bare. ¹⁹ Let them be withered upon the earth; for they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless. ²⁰ Then is his sin brought to remembrance, and he vanishes like a vapour of dew: but let what he has done be recompensed to him, and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood. ²¹ For he has not treated the barren woman well, and has had no pity on a feeble woman. ²² And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: therefore when he has arisen, a man will not feel secure of his own life. ²³ When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease. ²⁴ For his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk. ²⁵ But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, and will make my words of no account?

⁶ Ἀγρὸν πρὸ ὥρας οὐκ αὐτῶν ὄντα ἐθέρισαν· ἀδύνατοι ἀμπελῶνας ἀσεβῶν ἀμισθὶ καὶ ἀσιτὶ εἰργάσαντο. ⁷ Γυμνοὺς πολλοὺς ἐκοίμησαν ἄνευ ἱματίων, ἀμφίασιν δὲ ψυχῆς αὐτῶν ἀφείλαντο. ⁸ Ἀπὸ ψεκάδων ὀρέων ὑγραίνονται· παρὰ τὰ μὴ ἔχειν ἑαυτοὺς σκέπην, πέτραν περιεβάλοντο.
⁹ Ἥρπασαν ὀρφανὸν ἀπὸ μαστοῦ, ἐκπεπτωκότα δὲ ἐταπείνωσαν. ¹⁰ Γυμνοὺς δὲ ἐκοίμησαν ἀδίκως, πεινώντων δὲ τὸν ψωμὸν ἀφείλαντο.
¹¹ Ἐν στενοῖς ἀδίκως ἐνήδρευσαν, ὁδὸν δὲ δικαίαν οὐκ ᾔδεισαν. ¹² Οἳ ἐκ πόλεως καὶ οἴκων ἰδίων ἐξεβάλοντο, ψυχὴ δὲ νηπίων ἐστέναξε μέγα.
¹³ Αὐτὸς δὲ διατί τούτων ἐπισκοπὴν οὐ πεποίηται; ἐπὶ γῆς ὄντων αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν, ὁδὸν δὲ δικαιοσύνης οὐκ ᾔδεισαν, οὐδὲ ἀτραποὺς αὐτῶν ἐπορεύθησαν. ¹⁴ Γνοὺς δὲ αὐτῶν τὰ ἔργα, παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς σκότος, καὶ νυκτὸς ἔσται ὡς κλέπτης. ¹⁵ Καὶ ὀφθαλμὸς μοιχοῦ ἐφύλαξε σκότος, λέγων, οὐ προνοήσει με ὀφθαλμός, καὶ ἀποκρυβὴν προσώπου ἔθετο. ¹⁶ Διώρυξεν ἐν σκότει οἰκίας, ἡμέρας ἐσφράγισαν ἑαυτούς, οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν φῶς. ¹⁷ Ὅτι ὁμοθυμαδὸν αὐτοῖς τὸ πρωῒ σκιὰ θανάτου, ὅτι ἐπιγνώσεται τάραχος σκιᾶς θανάτου. ¹⁸ Ἐλαφρός ἐστιν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος, καταραθείη ἡ μερὶς αὐτῶν ἐπὶ γῆς, ἀναφανείη δὲ τὰ φυτὰ αὐτῶν ¹⁹ ἐπὶ γῆς ξηρά· ἀγκαλίδα γὰρ ὀρφανῶν ἥρπασαν.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Why are not times of punishment treasured up by the Almighty, and why do his adorers not see his days of retribution? ² The wicked remove landmarks: they rob flocks, and feed them. ³ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take in pledge the widow’s ox. ⁴ They chase the needy out of the highway: altogether hide themselves the poor of the earth. ⁵ Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness go they forth to their work, rising betimes after their prey: the desert yieldeth food for them and for their young men. ⁶ In the field they reap their food; and in the vineyard of the wicked they gather the fruit. ⁷ They cause the poor to spend the night naked, without clothing and without any covering in the cold. ⁸ Through the sweeping rain of the mountains are they made wet, and for want of a shelter do they embrace the rock. ⁹ The others pluck from the breast the fatherless, and the garment of the poor they take in pledge. ¹⁰ They cause him to go naked without clothing, and from the hungry they take away the sheaf: ¹¹ Within their walls do they make oil, they tread their wine-presses, and suffer thirst. ¹² Out of a populous city is groaning heard, and the soul of the deadly wounded crieth out: yet God regardeth it not as an offence. ¹³ Yon men are of those that rebel against the light: they know not its ways, nor abide in its paths. ¹⁴ With the earliest light riseth the murderer, he slayeth the poor and needy, and in the night he becometh like the thief. ¹⁵ And the eye of the adulterer watcheth for the twilight, saying, No eye will see me; and placeth a covering on his face. ¹⁶ They break into houses in the dark, in the daytime they lock themselves in: they know not the light. ¹⁷ For to all of these alike is the morning as the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death. ¹⁸ Swift are such men to flee on the face of the water; accursed is their field on the land; none of them turneth himself to the way, of the vineyards. ¹⁹ Drought and heat speedily consume the snow-waters: so doth the grave those who have sinned. ²⁰ The mother that bore such a one will forget him; the worm will feed sweetly on him; he will be no more remembered; and like a tree will wickedness be broken. ²¹ He ill-treateth the barren that heareth not; and to the widow he acteth not well. ²² But he also draweth down the mighty with his power: he riseth up, no one is sure of life. ²³ To such God granteth to be in safety, that he may find support; and His eyes are upon their ways. ²⁴ They are exalted; in but a little while they are no more; and they are brought down low: like all others are they gathered in, and like the top of the ear of corn are they cut off. ²⁵ But if it be not so, who will prove me a liar, and render nought my word?

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days. ² The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil. ³ The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow, ⁴ They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth. ⁵ Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself—food for young ones. ⁶ In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean. ⁷ The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold. ⁸ From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge—have embraced a rock. ⁹ They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge. ¹⁰ Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry—have taken away a sheaf. ¹¹ Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst. ¹² Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.
¹³ They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths. ¹⁴ At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief. ¹⁵ And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, `No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret. ¹⁶ He hath dug in the darkness—houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light. ¹⁷ When together, morning is to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.
¹⁸ Light he is on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards. ¹⁹ Drought—also heat—consume snow-waters, Sheol those who have sinned. ²⁰ Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten on him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness. ²¹ Treating evil the barren who beareth not, And to the widow he doth no good, ²² And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life. ²³ He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes are on their ways. ²⁴ High they were for a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all others they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off. ²⁵ And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Wherefore were not times hidden from the Almighty,? and they knowing him saw not his days. ² They will remove the bound; they will strip off the flock, and they will feed. ³ They will lead away the ass of the orphans, and they will take for pledge, the widow's ox. ⁴ They will turn the needy from the Way: the poor of the earth hid themselves together. ⁵ Behold, wild asses in the desert will go forth in their work, seeking for prey: the sterile region bread for him, and for the young. ⁶ In the field they will harvest his meslin, and they will glean the vintage of the unjust one. ⁷ They will cause the naked to lodge without clothing, and no covering in the cold. ⁸ They will be wet from the pouring rains of the mountains, and they embraced the rock from no shelter. ⁹ They will strip the orphan from the breast, and take a pledge for the poor. ¹⁰ They caused the naked to go without clothing, and from the hungry they took away the sheaf; ¹¹ Between their walls they will press out oil; they trod their wine-presses, and they will thirst ¹² From the city men will groan, and the soul of the wounded will cry out: and God will not set folly. ¹³ They were among the rebels of light; they knew not his ways, and they dwelt not in his beaten paths. ¹⁴ The murderer will rise by light; he will kill the poor and needy; and in the night he will be as a thief. ¹⁵ And the eye of the adulterer watched the twilight, saying, Eye shall not perceive me: and secretly he will set the face. ¹⁶ To break through houses in darkness in the day they shut up for themselves: they knew not light ¹⁷ For the morning altogether to them the shadow of death: if it shall be known, the terrors of the shadow of death. ¹⁸ He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion will be cursed in the earth: he will not see the way of the vineyards. ¹⁹ Dryness, also heat, will strip the snow waters: hades him sinning. ²⁰ The womb shall forget him; the worm sucked him; he shall be no more remembered: and iniquity shall be broken as a tree. ²¹ He did evil to the barren; she will not bear: andhewill not do good to the widow. ²² And he drew the mighty in his power: he will rise up and none shall be sure in living. ²³ It will he given to him for confidence, and he will rest upon: and his eyes upon their ways. ²⁴ They were lifted up a little while, and they are not, and they were brought low; as all they will be drawn together, and as the head of an ear of grain they shall be cut off. ²⁵ And if not now, who will cause me to lie, and set my words for nought?

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For what reason have times for judgment not been set aside by Him Who Suffices, And why do those knowing Him not perceive His days? ² The wicked move away boundary markers; They pillage the drove and openly graze them. ³ The orphans donkey they lead away; They take the widow's bull as a pledge. ⁴ They turn aside the needy from the way; The humble of the earth must hide together. ⁵ Behold, like onagers in the wilderness They go forth early for prey, In their contriving until the evening; Yet no nourishment for their youths!" ⁶ They reap in the field at night, And they scavenge in the vineyard of the wicked. ⁷ Naked, they lodge at night without clothing, And they have no covering for the cold. ⁸ They are doused by the mountain storm, And without a refuge they hug to a rock. ⁹ Yet others snatch the orphan from the breast, And they take as a pledge the unweaned of the humble. ¹⁰ Naked they go without clothing, And hungry they carry the sheaf. ¹¹ Without their songs they clarify oil; They tread the wine vats yet are thirsty. ¹² In the city the dying moan, And the soul of the wounded implores for help; Yet Eloah, He does not place charges of impropriety. ¹³ They are among those revolting against the light; They neither recognize its ways Nor dwell in its tracks. ¹⁴ When the light is gone the murderer arises; He dispatches the humble and needy one; And in the night he becomes stealthy as a thief. ¹⁵ The eye of the adulterer keeps watch for the gloaming, Saying, No eye can regard me; And he places a concealment over his face. ¹⁶ In the darkness he burrows into houses; By day they seal themselves up; They do not know the light. ¹⁷ For altogether morning is a shadow of death to them, For each one values the decadence of the blackest shadow. ¹⁸ This one has light work on the face of the waters; For others their portion is slight on the land; Not one is facing the way of the vineyards. ¹⁹ As aridity and warmth siphon away the snow waters, So the unseen takes those who have sinned. ²⁰ The city square forgets him; The worm finds him sweet; He shall not be remembered any more; Thus like a tree, iniquity shall be broken down. ²¹ He has done evil to the barren one who bears not, And he has not done good for the widow. ²² He has drawn forth the sturdy ones by his vigor; He arises, and none can put reliance in their lives. ²³ He gives trust to him, and he leans back, Yet His eyes are on their ways. ²⁴ They are exalted a little while, but each will be no more; They shall be reduced; Like all others they shall be shut up, And like the head of a grain-stalk they shall be snipped off. ²⁵ But if not so, indeed who can prove me a liar Or establish my declaration as nothing?

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Why are times not stored up by the Ruler of all, and why do those who have knowledge of him not see his days? ² The landmarks are changed by evil men, they violently take away flocks, together with their keepers. ³ They send away the ass of him who has no father, they take the widow's ox for debt. ⁴ The crushed are turned out of the way; all the poor of the earth go into a secret place together. ⁵ Like asses in the waste land they go out to their work, looking for food with care; from the waste land they get bread for their children. ⁶ They get mixed grain from the field, and they take away the late fruit from the vines of those who have wealth. ⁷ They take their rest at night without clothing, and have no cover in the cold. ⁸ They are wet with the rain of the mountains, and get into the cracks of the rock for cover. ⁹ The child without a father is forced from its mother's breast, and they take the young children of the poor for debt. ¹⁰ Others go about without clothing, and though they have no food, they get in the grain from the fields. ¹¹ Between the lines of olive-trees they make oil; though they have no drink, they are crushing out the grapes. ¹² From the town come sounds of pain from those who are near death, and the soul of the wounded is crying out for help; but God does not take note of their prayer. ¹³ Then there are those who are haters of the light, who have no knowledge of its ways, and do not go in them. ¹⁴ He who is purposing death gets up before day, so that he may put to death the poor and those in need. ¹⁵ And the man whose desire is for the wife of another is waiting for the evening, saying, No eye will see me; and he puts a cover on his face. And in the night the thief goes about; ¹⁶ In the dark he makes holes in the walls of houses: in the daytime they are shutting themselves up, they have no knowledge of the light. ¹⁷ For the middle of the night is as morning to them, they are not troubled by the fear of the dark. ¹⁸ They go quickly on the face of the waters; their heritage is cursed in the earth; the steps of the crusher of grapes are not turned to their vine-garden. ¹⁹ Snow waters become dry with the heat: so do sinners go down into the underworld. ²⁰ The public place of his town has no more knowledge of him, and his name has gone from the memory of men: he is rooted up like a dead tree. ²¹ He is not kind to the widow, and he has no pity for her child. ²² But God by his power gives long life to the strong; he gets up again, though he has no hope of life. ²³ He takes away his fear of danger and gives him support; and his eyes are on his ways. ²⁴ For a short time they are lifted up; then they are gone; they are made low, they are pulled off like fruit, and like the heads of grain they are cut off. ²⁵ And if it is not so, now, who will make it clear that my words are false, and that what I say is of no value?

13 H4775 They are of those that rebel H216 against the light; H5234 they know H1870 not the ways H3808 thereof, nor H3427 abide H5410 in the paths thereof.

14 H7523 The murderer H6965 rising H216 with the light H6991 kills H6041 the poor H34 and needy, H3915 and in the night H1590 is as a thief.

15 H5869 The eye H5003 also of the adulterer H8104 waits H5399 for the twilight, H559 saying, H3808 No H5869 eye H7789 shall see H5643 me: and disguises H6440 his face.

16 H2822 In the dark H2864 they dig H2864 through H1004 houses, H2856 which they had marked H3119 for themselves in the daytime: H3045 they know H216 not the light.

19 H6723 Drought H2527 and heat H1497 consume H7950 the snow H4325 waters: H7585 so does the grave H2398 those which have sinned.

20 H7358 The womb H7911 shall forget H7415 him; the worm H4988 shall feed sweetly H3808 on him; he shall be no H5750 more H2142 remembered; H5766 and wickedness H7665 shall be broken H6086 as a tree.

21 H7462 He evil H6135 entreats the barren H3205 that bears H3190 not: and does not good H490 to the widow.

22 H4900 He draws H47 also the mighty H3581 with his power: H6965 he rises H3808 up, and no H539 man is sure H2416 of life.

23 H5414 Though it be given H983 him to be in safety, H8172 where on he rests; H5869 yet his eyes H1870 are on their ways.

24 H7426 They are exalted H4592 for a little H369 while, but are gone H4355 and brought H4355 low; H7092 they are taken H1870 out of the way H3605 as all H5243 other, and cut H7218 off as the tops H7641 of the ears of corn.

25 H518 And if H645 it be not so now, H4310 who H7760 will make H3576 me a liar, H7760 and make H4405 my speech H408 nothing worth?

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Job Describes Social Injustice Why doesn’t the Almighty reserve time for judgment? and why don’t those who know him perceive his days? ² They move boundary stones, steal flocks, and pasture them. ³ They drive away the orphan’s donkey; they take the ox of the widow as security for a loan; ⁴ They push the needy off the road, and force the poor of the land into hiding. ⁵ “Look! Like wild donkeys in the wilderness, they work diligently as they seek wild game in the desert, food for them and their young ones. ⁶ They reap fodder in the field and glean in the vineyard of the wicked. ⁷ They spend the night naked, without clothing, with no covering against the cold. ⁸ They are wet from mountain rains; without shelter, they cling to a rock. ⁹ “The fatherless are torn from the breast; the poor are taken away as security for a loan. ¹⁰ They wander around naked, without clothes; hungry, though they carry sheaves of grain. ¹¹ They press oil between the olive groves owned by the wicked; they suffer from thirst, even while treading the winepress. ¹² From the city, dying men groan aloud, and the wounded cries out for help, but God charges no one with wrong. ¹³ “Then there are those who rebel against the light; they are not acquainted with its ways; and they don’t stay on its course. ¹⁴ The murderer rises at dawn to kill the poor and needy; at night, he is like a thief. ¹⁵ The adulterer watches for twilight, saying, ‘No eye is watching me’ while he veils his face. ¹⁶ They break into houses in the dark; during the day they remained sealed in. They don’t know daylight. ¹⁷ As a group, deep darkness is their morning time; fear that lives in darkness is their friend.”
¹⁸ Social Injustice will Be Punished“They remain only a short time on the water’s surface; their inheritance will be cursed in the land; no one will work in their vineyards. ¹⁹ As drought and heat evaporate melting snow, that’s what Sheol does with sinners. ²⁰ The womb will forget them. Maggots will find them to be a delicacy! They won’t be remembered anymore, their iniquity will be cut to pieces like firewood. ²¹ “They prey on the barren woman, and do no favors for widows. ²² God prolongs the life of the strong by his power, but they get up in the morning without purpose in life. ²³ He gives them security and financial support, but he watches everything they do. ²⁴ They’re exalted momentarily, but then they are gone; they are humbled, just like all the others.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do those who know him not see his days?
² There are men who remove the landmarks. They take away flocks violently and feed them. ³ They drive away the donkey of the fatherless. They take the widow's ox for a pledge. ⁴ They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
⁵ Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their sons. ⁶ They cut their fodder in the field and they glean the vintage of the wicked. ⁷ They lie all night naked without clothing and have no covering in the cold. ⁸ They are wet with the showers of the mountains and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
⁹ There are men who pluck the fatherless from the breast and take a pledge of the poor, ¹⁰ so that they go about naked without clothing and being hungry they carry the sheaves. ¹¹ They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread their winepresses and suffer thirst. ¹² From out of the populous city men groan and the soul of the wounded cries out. Yet God does not regard the foolishness.
¹³ These are of those who rebel against the light. They do not know the ways of it, nor abide in the paths of it. ¹⁴ The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. And in the night he is as a thief. ¹⁵ The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye will see me. And he disguises his face.
¹⁶ In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They do not know the light. ¹⁷ For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness. For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
¹⁸ Swiftly they pass away upon the face of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They do not turn into the way of the vineyards. ¹⁹ Drought and heat consume the snow waters, and Sheol those who have sinned. ²⁰ The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. And unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
²¹ He devours the barren who do not bear and does no good to the widow. ²² Yet God prolongs the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life. ²³ God gives them to be in security and they rest in it. And his eyes are upon their ways. ²⁴ They are exalted.
Yet a little while and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low. They are taken out of the way as all others and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
²⁵ And if it is not so now, who will prove me a liar and make my speech worth nothing?

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Pourquoi les moments ont-ils été ignorés du maître, ² Quand des impies ont envahi ses champs et ravi ses troupeaux avec ses bergers? ³ Ils ont enlevé la bête de somme de l’orphelin; ils ont mis en gage le bœuf de la veuve. ⁴ Ils ont fait dévier le faible de la voie de la justice, et l’homme doux c’est caché devant eux. ⁵ Ils se sont répandus dans la campagne comme des ânes; ils se sont précipités sur moi en bon ordre; il leur a été agréable de prendre du pain pour leurs enfants. ⁶ Ils ont moissonné avant la saison une terre qui ne leur appartenait pas. Des pauvres ont cultivé les vignes des impies sans recevoir aliments ni salaires. ⁷ Ils ont réduit des nus à passer les nuits sans vêtements, ils ont ôté la couverture qui préservait leur vie. ⁸ Ceux-ci, faute de demeure reçoivent la pluie des montagnes; ils n’ont d’autre lit que les rochers. ⁹ Leurs oppresseurs ont enlevé l’orphelin à la mamelle; ils ont humilié celui qui déjà était abattu. ¹⁰ Ils ont procuré aux nus un triste sommeil; ils ont pris aux affamés leur bouchée de pain. ¹¹ Ils ont dressé de mauvaises embûches en des défilés; ils n’ont point connu le droit chemin. ¹² L’âme des enfants chassés de leurs maisons et de leurs villes a exhalé de profonds sanglots. ¹³ ¶ Pourquoi le Seigneur n’a-t-il pas exercé sa surveillance sur de telles actions? Ces impies en la terre qui leur appartenait ont tout ignoré; ils ne connaissaient pas les voies de la justice; ils n’ont même pas suivi les sentiers battus. ¹⁴ Quand il a su leurs œuvres, il les a voués aux ténèbres. Le voleur attend la nuit. ¹⁵ L’œil de l’adultère a épié l’heure de l’obscurité; sa pensée est que nul ne le soupçonne, et il s’est voilé le visage. ¹⁶ Pendant la nuit, il a percé des maisons; ils avaient fixé le moment, et ils n’ont point connu la lumière. ¹⁷ En même temps que le matin, l’ombre de la mort leur apparaît et les trouble. ¹⁸ ¶ L’homme s’enfuit comme l’objet léger qui coule à la surface de l’eau; maudit soit son champ, que ses arbres disparaissent ¹⁹ Sur la terre desséchée, car ils ont ravi la gerbe de l’orphelin. ²⁰ Si ensuite il vient à se rappeler son crime, c’est pour lui comme la vapeur, à peine visible, de la rosée; puisse-t-il être rétribué selon ses œuvres. Que tout homme inique soit broyé comme un arbre pourri. ²¹ Car il n’a fait aucun bien à la femme stérile; il n’a eu aucune compassion de son sexe. ²² Il a ruiné les faibles avec emportement; aussi, au comble de son élévation, il ne sera point assuré de sa vie. ²³ ²⁴ ²⁵

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹
Pourquoi des temps ne sont-ils pas réservés par devers le Tout-puissant, et ceux qui le connaissent ne voient-ils pas ses jours? ² Ils reculent les bornes, ils pillent le troupeau et le paissent; ³ Ils emmènent l'âne des orphelins et prennent en gage le boeuf de la veuve; ⁴ Ils détournent du chemin les pauvres; les malheureux de la terre se cachent ensemble: ⁵ Voici, ânes sauvages dans le désert, ils sortent pour leur besogne dès le matin, pour chercher leur proie; le désert leur fournit le pain pour leurs enfants; ⁶ Ils moissonnent le fourrage dans les champs, ils grappillent la vigne du méchant; ⁷ Ils passent la nuit tout nus, sans vêtement, et n'ont pas de couverture par le froid; ⁸ Ils sont trempés par les averses des montagnes, et, sans refuge, ils se serrent contre le rocher... ⁹ Ils arrachent de la mamelle l'orphelin, et de la main des pauvres ils prennent des gages: ¹⁰ Ceux-ci vont nus, sans vêtement, et, affamés, ils portent la gerbe; ¹¹ Entre leurs murailles ils font de l'huile, ils foulent le pressoir, et ont soif. ¹² Des villes sortent les soupirs des mourants, et l'âme des blessés à mort crie, et +Dieu n'impute pas l'indignité qui se commet. ¹³
D'autres sont ennemis de la lumière, ils ne connaissent pas ses voies et ne demeurent pas dans ses sentiers. ¹⁴ Le meurtrier se lève avec la lumière, il tue le malheureux et le pauvre, et la nuit il est comme le voleur. ¹⁵ L'oeil aussi de l'adultère guette le crépuscule, en disant: Aucun oeil ne m'apercevra; et il met un voile sur son visage. ¹⁶ Dans les ténèbres ils percent les maisons, de jour ils s'enferment; ils ne connaissent pas la lumière; ¹⁷ Car le matin est pour eux tous l'ombre de la mort, car ils connaissent les terreurs de l'ombre de la mort. ¹⁸
Ils sont rapides sur la face des eaux, leur part est maudite sur la terre; ils ne se tournent pas vers les vignes. ¹⁹ La sécheresse et la chaleur emportent l'eau de neige; ainsi le shéol fait-il de ceux qui ont péché. ²⁰ Le sein maternel les oublie; les vers se repaissent d'eux; on ne se souvient plus d'eux: l'iniquité sera brisée comme du bois! ²¹ Ils dépouillent la femme stérile qui n'enfante pas, et ils ne font pas de bien à la veuve. ²² Et par leur force ils traînent les puissants; ils se lèvent et on n'est plus sûr de sa vie. ²³ Dieu leur donne la sécurité, et ils s'appuient sur elle; mais il a ses yeux sur leurs voies. ²⁴ Ils sont élevés: dans peu, ils ne sont plus; ils défaillent, et sont recueillis comme tous; ils sont coupés comme la tête d'un épi. ²⁵ Et si cela n'est pas, qui me fera menteur et réduira mon discours à néant?

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Comment les temps de la vengeance ne seraient-ils pas cachés aux méchants par le Tout-puissant, puisque ceux-mêmes qui le connaissent n'aperçoivent pas les jours de sa punition sur eux ? ² Ils reculent les bornes, ils pillent les bêtes du troupeau, et puis ils les font aller paître. ³ Ils emmènent l'âne des orphelins, ils prennent pour gage le boeuf de la veuve. ⁴ Ils font retirer les pauvres du chemin, et les misérables du pays sont contraints de se cacher. ⁵ Voilà, il y en a qui sont comme des ânes sauvages dans le désert; ils sortent pour faire leur ouvrage, se levant dès le matin pour la proie; le désert leur fournit du pain pour leurs enfants. ⁶ Ils vont couper le fourrage dans les champs, mais ce ne sera que fort tard qu'ils iront ravager la vigne du méchant. ⁷ Ils font passer la nuit sans vêtement à ceux qu'ils ont dépouillés, et qui n'ont pas de quoi se couvrir durant le froid; ⁸ Qui sont tout mouillés par les grandes pluies des montagnes, et qui, n'ayant point de retraite, couchent dans les creux des rochers. ⁹ Ils enlèvent le pupille à la mamelle, et prennent des gages du pauvre. ¹⁰ Ils font aller sans habits l'homme qu'ils ont dépouillé; et ils enlèvent à ceux qui n'avaient pas de quoi manger, ce qu'ils avaient glané. ¹¹ Ceux qui font l'huile entre leurs murailles, et ceux qui foulent la vendange dans les cuves souffrent la soif. ¹² Ils font gémir les gens dans la ville, et l'âme de ceux qu'ils ont fait mourir, crie; et cependant Dieu ne fait rien d'indigne de lui. ¹³ Ils sont de ceux qui l'opposent à la lumière, ils n'ont point connu ses voies, et ne sont point demeurés dans ses sentiers. ¹⁴ Le meurtrier se lève au point du jour, et il tue le pauvre et l'indigent, et la nuit il est tel qu'un larron. ¹⁵ L'oeil de l'adultère épie le soir, en disant : Aucun oeil ne me verra; et il se couvre le visage. ¹⁶ Ils percent durant les ténèbres les maisons qu'ils avaient marquées le jour, ils haïssent la lumière. ¹⁷ Car la lumière du matin leur est à tous comme l'ombre de la mort; si quelqu'un les reconnaît, c'est pour eux une frayeur mortelle. ¹⁸ Il passera plus vite que la surface des eaux; leur portion sera maudite sur la terre; il ne verra point le chemin des vignes. ¹⁹ Comme la sécheresse et la chaleur consument les eaux de neige, ainsi le sépulcre ravira les pécheurs. ²⁰ Le ventre qui l'a porté l'oubliera; les vers mangeront son corps qui lui a été si cher; on ne se souviendra plus de lui; l'injuste sera brisé comme du bois. ²¹ Il maltraitait la femme stérile qui n'enfantait point; et il ne faisait point de bien à la veuve; ²² Et il s'attirait les puissants par sa force; lorsqu'il se levait, on n'était pas assuré de sa vie. ²³ Dieu lui donne de quoi s'assurer, et il s'appuie sur cela; toutefois ses yeux prennent garde à leurs voies. ²⁴ Ils sont élevés en peu de temps, et ensuite ils ne sont plus; ils sont abaissés, ils sont emportés comme tous les autres, et sont coupés comme le bout d'un épi. ²⁵ Si cela n'est pas ainsi, qui est-ce qui me convaincra que je mens, et qui réfutera mes discours ?

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pourquoi le Tout-Puissant ne met-il pas des temps en réserve, Et pourquoi ceux qui le connaissent ne voient-ils pas ses jours? ² On déplace les bornes, On vole des troupeaux, et on les fait paître; ³ On enlève l'âne de l'orphelin, On prend pour gage le boeuf de la veuve; ⁴ On repousse du chemin les indigents, On force tous les malheureux du pays à se cacher. ⁵ Et voici, comme les ânes sauvages du désert, Ils sortent le matin pour chercher de la nourriture, Ils n'ont que le désert pour trouver le pain de leurs enfants; ⁶ Ils coupent le fourrage qui reste dans les champs, Ils grappillent dans la vigne de l'impie; ⁷ Ils passent la nuit dans la nudité, sans vêtement, Sans couverture contre le froid; ⁸ Ils sont percés par la pluie des montagnes, Et ils embrassent les rochers comme unique refuge. ⁹ On arrache l'orphelin à la mamelle, On prend des gages sur le pauvre. ¹⁰ Ils vont tout nus, sans vêtement, Ils sont affamés, et ils portent les gerbes; ¹¹ Dans les enclos de l'impie ils font de l'huile, Ils foulent le pressoir, et ils ont soif; ¹² Dans les villes s'exhalent les soupirs des mourants, L'âme des blessés jette des cris.... Et Dieu ne prend pas garde à ces infamies! ¹³ D'autres sont ennemis de la lumière, Ils n'en connaissent pas les voies, Ils n'en pratiquent pas les sentiers. ¹⁴ L'assassin se lève au point du jour, Tue le pauvre et l'indigent, Et il dérobe pendant la nuit. ¹⁵ L'oeil de l'adultère épie le crépuscule; Personne ne me verra, dit-il, Et il met un voile sur sa figure. ¹⁶ La nuit ils forcent les maisons, Le jour ils se tiennent enfermés; Ils ne connaissent pas la lumière. ¹⁷ Pour eux, le matin c'est l'ombre de la mort, Ils en éprouvent toutes les terreurs. ¹⁸ Eh quoi! l'impie est d'un poids léger sur la face des eaux, Il n'a sur la terre qu'une part maudite, Il ne prend jamais le chemin des vignes! ¹⁹ Comme la sécheresse et la chaleur absorbent les eaux de la neige, Ainsi le séjour des morts engloutit ceux qui pèchent! ²⁰ Quoi! le sein maternel l'oublie, Les vers en font leurs délices, On ne se souvient plus de lui! L'impie est brisé comme un arbre, ²¹ Lui qui dépouille la femme stérile et sans enfants, Lui qui ne répand aucun bienfait sur la veuve!... ²² Non! Dieu par sa force prolonge les jours des violents, Et les voilà debout quand ils désespéraient de la vie; ²³ Il leur donne de la sécurité et de la confiance, Il a les regards sur leurs voies. ²⁴ Ils se sont élevés; et en un instant ils ne sont plus, Ils tombent, ils meurent comme tous les hommes, Ils sont coupés comme la tête des épis. ²⁵ S'il n'en est pas ainsi, qui me démentira, Qui réduira mes paroles à néant?

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ لماذا اذ لم تختبئ الازمنة من القدير لا يرى عارفوه يومه. ² ينقلون التخوم. يغتصبون قطيعا ويرعونه. ³ يستاقون حمار اليتامى ويرتهنون ثور الارملة. ⁴ يصدّون الفقراء عن الطريق. مساكين الارض يختبئون جميعا. ⁵ ها هم كالفراء في القفر يخرجون الى عملهم يبكرون للطعام. البادية لهم خبز لاولادهم. ⁶ في الحقل يحصدون علفهم ويعللون كرم الشرير. ⁷ يبيتون عراة بلا لبس وليس لهم كسوة في البرد. ⁸ يبتلّون من مطر الجبال ولعدم الملجإ يعتنقون الصخر ⁹ يخطفون اليتيم عن الثدي ومن المساكين يرتهنون. ¹⁰ عراة يذهبون بلا لبس وجائعين يحملون حزما. ¹¹ يعصرون الزيت داخل اسوارهم. يدوسون المعاصر ويعطشون. ¹² من الوجع اناس يئنون ونفس الجرحى تستغيث والله لا ينتبه الى الظلم ¹³ اولئك يكونون بين المتمردين على النور لا يعرفون طرقه ولا يلبثون في سبله. ¹⁴ مع النور يقوم القاتل يقتل المسكين والفقير وفي الليل يكون كاللص. ¹⁵ وعين الزاني تلاحظ العشاء. يقول لا تراقبني عين. فيجعل سترا على وجهه. ¹⁶ ينقبون البيوت في الظلام. في النهار يغلقون على انفسهم. لا يعرفون النور. ¹⁷ لانه سواء عليهم الصباح وظل الموت. لانهم يعلمون اهوال ظل الموت. ¹⁸ خفيف هو على وجه المياه. ملعون نصيبهم في الارض. لا يتوجه الى طريق الكروم. ¹⁹ القحط والقيظ يذهبان بمياه الثلج. كذا الهاوية بالذين اخطأوا. ²⁰ تنساه الرحم يستحليه الدود. لا يذكر بعد وينكسر الاثيم كشجرة. ²¹ يسيء الى العاقر التي لم تلد ولا يحسن الى الارملة. ²² يمسك الاعزاء بقوته. يقوم فلا يأمن احد بحياته. ²³ يعطيه طمأنينة فيتوكل ولكن عيناه على طرقهم. ²⁴ يترفعون قليلا ثم لا يكونون ويحطون. كالكل يجمعون وكرأس السنبلة يقطعون. ²⁵ وان لم يكن كذا فمن يكذبني ويجعل كلامي لا شيئا

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Понеже времената не са скрити от Всемогъщия, защо онези, които Го познават, не виждат дните Му? ² Едни преместват граници, грабят стадо и го пасат. ³ Откарват магарето на сирачетата, вземат в залог говедото на вдовицата. ⁴ Изтласкват бедните от пътя, сиромасите на земята заедно се крият. ⁵ Ето, като диви магарета в пустинята те излизат по работата си, подраняват за грабеж; пустинята им дава хляб и за децата им. ⁶ Жънат фуража си в полето и събират пабиръка от лозето на безбожния. ⁷ Прекарват нощта голи, без дрехи, и нямат завивка в студа. ⁸ Планински дъждове ги мокрят, прегръщат скалата, понеже нямат подслон. ⁹ Други грабват сирачето от майчината гръд и вземат залог от сиромаха. ¹⁰ Карат голия да си отиде без дреха и които носят сноповете, остават гладни. ¹¹ Изстискват масло в оградите им и тъпчат линовете им, но пак са жадни. ¹² Хора стенат из града и душите на ранените викат, но Бог не им счита безумие. ¹³ Тези са противниците на светлината, не познават пътищата й и не стоят в пътеките й. ¹⁴ Убиецът става преди светлината, убива сиромаха и бедния, а нощем е като крадец. ¹⁵ И окото на прелюбодееца чака здрача и казва: Око няма да ме види! — и слага покривало на лицето си. ¹⁶ В тъмнината се разбиват къщи; а през деня те се затварят, не познават светлината. ¹⁷ Защото зората за всички тях е смъртна сянка, защото познават ужасите на смъртната сянка. ¹⁸ Лек е по лицето на водите, прокълнат на земята е делът им, не се обръща повече към пътя за лозята. ¹⁹ Както сушата и жегата поглъщат снежните води, така и Шеол — съгрешилите. ²⁰ Утробата ще го забрави, червеят се храни сладко с него. Няма вече да се помни и неправдата ще се строши като дърво. ²¹ Онеправдава неплодната, която не ражда, и не прави добро на вдовицата. ²² Влачи силните със силата Си; става, и никой не е сигурен за живота си. ²³ Той им дава безопасност, и те се успокояват, но очите Му са върху пътищата им. ²⁴ Възвисяват се за малко, и ги няма; снижават се, и като всички си отиват; отсичат се като глави на класове. ²⁵ Сега, ако не е така, кой ще докаже, че лъжец съм, и кой речта ми ще унищожи?

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Zašto Svesilni ne promatra vremena, a dane njegove ne vide mu vjernici? ² Bezbožnici pomiču granice, otimaju stado i pasu ga. ³ Sirotama odvode magarca, udovi u zalog vola dižu. ⁴ Siromahe tjeraju sa puta; skrivaju se ubogari zemlje. ⁵ K'o magarci divlji u pustinji zarana idu da plijen ugrabe: pustinja im hrani mališane. ⁶ Po tuđem polju oni pabirče, paljetkuju vinograd opakog. ⁷ Goli noće, nemaju haljine, ni pokrivača protiv studeni. ⁸ Oni kisnu na planinskom pljusku; bez skloništa uz hrid se zbijaju. ⁹ Otkidaju od sise sirotu, ubogom u zalog dijete grabe. ¹⁰ Goli hode, nemaju haljina; izgladnjeli, tuđe snoplje nose. ¹¹ Oni mlina za ulje nemaju; ožednjeli, gaze u kacama. ¹² Samrtnici hropću iz gradova, ranjenici u pomoć zazivlju. Al' na sve to Bog se oglušuje. ¹³ Ima onih koji mrze svjetlost: ne priznaju njezinih putova niti se staza drže njezinih. ¹⁴ Za mraka se diže ubojica, kolje ubogog i siromaha. U gluhoj se noći lopov skiće [16a] i u tmini provaljuje kuće. ¹⁵ Sumrak žudi oko preljubnika: 'Nitko me vidjet neće', kaže on i zastire velom svoje lice. ¹⁶ [16b]Za vidjela oni se skrivaju, oni neće da za svjetlost znaju. ¹⁷ Zora im je kao sjena smrtna: kad zarudi, silan strah ih hvata. ¹⁸ Prije nego svane, on već hitro bježi kloneći se puta preko vinograda. Njegova su dobra prokleta u zemlji. ¹⁹ K'o što vrućina i žega snijeg upija, tako i Podzemlje proždire grešnike. ²⁰ Zaboravilo ga krilo što ga rodi, ime se njegovo više ne spominje: poput stabla zgromljena je opačina. ²¹ Ženu nerotkinju on je zlostavljao, udovici nije učinio dobra. ²² Al' Onaj što snažno hvata nasilnike, ustaje, a njima sva se nada gasi. ²³ Dade mu sigurnost, i on se pouzda; okom je njegove nadzirao staze. ²⁴ Dignu se za kratko, a onda nestanu, ruše se i kao svi drugi istrunu, posječeni kao glave klasovima." ²⁵ Nije li tako? Tko će me u laž utjerat'? Tko moje riječi poništiti može?"

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Proč by od Všemohoucího neměli býti skryti časové, a ti, kteříž jej znají, neměli neviděti dnů jeho? ² Bezbožníť nyní mezníky přenášejí, a stádo, kteréž mocí zajali, pasou. ³ Osla sirotků zajímají, v zástavě berou vola od vdovy. ⁴ Strkají nuznými s cesty, musejí se vůbec skrývati chudí na světě. ⁵ Aj, oni jako divocí oslové na poušti, vycházejí jako ku práci své, ráno přivstávajíce k loupeži; poušť jest chléb jejich i dětí jejich. ⁶ Na cizím poli žnou, a z vinic bezbožníci sbírají. ⁷ Nahé přivodí k tomu, aby nocovati musili bez roucha, nemajíce se čím přiodíti na zimě. ⁸ A přívalem v horách moknouce, nemajíce obydlí, k skále se přivinouti musejí. ⁹ Loupí sirotky, kteříž jsou při prsích, a od chudého základ berou. ¹⁰ Nahého opouštějí, že musí choditi bez oděvu, a ti, kteříž snášejí snopy, v hladu zůstávati. ¹¹ Ti, jenž mezi zdmi jejich olej vytlačují, a presy tlačí, žíznějí. ¹² Lidé v městech lkají, a duše zraněných volají, Bůh pak přítrže tomu nečiní. ¹³ Oniť jsou ti, kteříž odporují světlu, a neznají cest jeho, aniž chodí po stezkách jeho. ¹⁴ Na úsvitě povstávaje vražedlník, morduje chudého a nuzného, a v noci jest jako zloděj. ¹⁵ Tolikéž oko cizoložníka šetří soumraku, říkaje: Nespatříť mne žádný, a tvář zakrývá. ¹⁶ Podkopávají potmě i domy, kteréž sobě ve dne znamenali; nebo nenávidí světla. ¹⁷ Ale hned v jitře přichází na ně stín smrti; když jeden druhého poznati může, strachu stínu smrti okoušejí. ¹⁸ Lehcí jsou na svrchku vody, zlořečené jest jmění jejich na zemi, aniž odcházejí cestou svobodnou. ¹⁹ Jako sucho a horko uchvacuje vody sněžné, tak hrob ty, jenž hřešili. ²⁰ Zapomíná se na něj život matky, sladne červům, nebývá více připomínán, a tak polámána bývá nepravost jako strom. ²¹ Připojuje mu neplodnou, kteráž nerodí, a vdově dobře nečiní. ²² Zachvacuje silné mocí svou; ostojí-li kdo z nich, bojí se o život svůj. ²³ Dává jemu, na čemž by bezpečně spolehnouti mohl, však oči jeho šetří cest jejich. ²⁴ Bývají zvýšeni poněkud, ale hned jich není; tak jako jiní všickni sníženi, vypléněni, a jako vrškové klasů stínáni bývají. ²⁵ Zdaliž není tak? Kdo na mne dokáže klamu, a v nic obrátí řeč mou?

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Hvorfor ere Tider ikke gemte af den Almægtige? og hvorfor se de, som kender ham, ikke hans Dage? ² Man forrykker Markskel, man røver Hjorder og vogter dem; ³ man driver de faderløses Asen bort, man tager en Enkes Okse til Pant; ⁴ man trænger de fattige ud af Vejen, de elendige i Landet maa skjule sig til Hobe. ⁵ Se, som Vildæsler i Ørken gaa de ud til deres Gerning, de staa aarle op efter Føde! Ørkenen giver dem Brød til Børnene. ⁶ De høste den ugudeliges Blandingssæd, og de holde Efterhøst i hans Vingaard. ⁷ Nøgne ligge de om Natten, uden Klæder, og uden Dække i Kulden. ⁸ De blive vaade af Bjergenes Vandskyl, og fordi de ingen Tilflugt have, favne de Klippen. ⁹ Man river den fader løse fra, Moders Bryst; og af den elendige tager man Pant. ¹⁰ Nøgne gaa de uden Klæder, og hungrende bære de Neg. ¹¹ De udperse Olie inden for hines Mure, de træde Vinperserne og tørste derved. ¹² Fra Staden sukke Folk, og de gennemboredes Sjæle skrige; dog agter Gud ikke paa det urimelige deri. ¹³ Der er dem, som hade Lyset, de kende ikke dets Veje, og de blive ikke paa dets Stier. ¹⁴ Morderen staar op, naar det dages, slaar den elendige og fattige ihjel; og om Natten er han som Tyvern. ¹⁵ Og Horkarlens Øjne vare paa Tusmørket, og han siger: Intet Øje skal skue mig; og han lægger et Dække over sit Ansigt. ¹⁶ I Mørket brydes ind i Husene, om Dagen lukke de sig inde; de kende ikke Lyset ¹⁷ Thi for dem alle er Dødsskygge Morgen; thi de ere bekendte med Dødsskyggens Rædsler. ¹⁸ Let farer en saadan bort paa Vandet, deres Arvelod er forbandet i Landet; han vender sig ikke til Vingaardenes Vej. ¹⁹ Tørhed, ja Hede borttager Snevand. Dødsriget dem, som have syndet. ²⁰ Moders Liv glemmer ham, han smager Ormene vel; han ihukommes ikke ydermere, og Uretfærdigheden sønderbrydes som et Træ; ²¹ han, der udpinte den ufrugtbare, som ikke fødte, og ikke vilde gøre en Enke godt. ²² Dog Gud opholder de mægtige længe med sin Magt; de rejse sig, naar de ikke mere tro paa deres Liv. ²³ Han giver dem Tryghed, og de forlade sig fast derpaa; og hans Øjne ere over deres Veje. ²⁴ De ere ophøjede; om en liden Stund findes ingen af dem, og de synke hen, de indsamles som alle andre, og de afhugges som Toppen paa et Aks. ²⁵ Og hvis det ikke er saa, hvo kan da straffe mig for Løgn og gøre min Tale til intet

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 全能者既定期罰惡，為何不使認識他的人看見那日子呢？ ² 有人挪移地界，搶奪群畜而牧養。 ³ 他們拉去孤兒的驢，強取寡婦的牛為當頭。 ⁴ 他們使窮人離開正道；世上的貧民盡都隱藏。 ⁵ 這些貧窮人如同野驢出到曠野，殷勤尋找食物；他們靠著野地給兒女糊口， ⁶ 收割別人田間的禾稼，摘取惡人餘剩的葡萄， ⁷ 終夜赤身無衣，天氣寒冷毫無遮蓋， ⁸ 在山上被大雨淋濕，因沒有避身之處就挨近磐石。 ⁹ 又有人從母懷中搶奪孤兒，強取窮人的衣服為當頭， ¹⁰ 使人赤身無衣，到處流行，且因飢餓扛抬禾捆， ¹¹ 在那些人的圍牆內造油，醡酒，自己還口渴。 ¹² 在多民的城內有人唉哼，受傷的人哀號；神卻不理會那惡人的愚妄。 ¹³ 又有人背棄光明，不認識光明的道，不住在光明的路上。 ¹⁴ 殺人的黎明起來，殺害困苦窮乏人，夜間又作盜賊。 ¹⁵ 姦夫等候黃昏，說：必無眼能見我，就把臉蒙蔽。 ¹⁶ 盜賊黑夜挖窟窿；白日躲藏，並不認識光明。 ¹⁷ 他們看早晨如幽暗，因為他們曉得幽暗的驚駭。 ¹⁸ 這些惡人猶如浮萍快快飄去。他們所得的分在世上被咒詛；他們不得再走葡萄園的路。 ¹⁹ 乾旱炎熱消沒雪水；陰間也如此消沒犯罪之輩。 ²⁰ 懷他的母（原文是胎）要忘記他；蟲子要吃他，覺得甘甜；他不再被人紀念。不義的人必如樹折斷。 ²¹ 他惡待（或譯：他吞滅）不懷孕不生養的婦人，不善待寡婦。 ²² 然而神用能力保全有勢力的人；那性命難保的人仍然興起。 ²³ 神使他們安穩，他們就有所倚靠；神的眼目也看顧他們的道路。 ²⁴ 他們被高舉，不過片時就沒有了；他們降為卑，被除滅，與眾人一樣，又如榖穗被割。 ²⁵ 若不是這樣，誰能證實我是說謊的，將我的言語駁為虛空呢？

3 H5090 他们拉去 H3490 孤儿 H2543 的驴 H490 ，强取寡妇的 H7794 牛 H2254 为当头。

4 H5186 他们使 H34 穷人 H1870 离开正道 H776 ；世上的 H6041 H6035 贫民 H3162 尽都 H2244 隐藏。

5 H6501 这些贫穷人如同野驴 H3318 出到 H4057 旷野 H7836 ，殷勤寻找 H2964 食物 H6160 ；他们靠着野地 H5288 给儿女 H3899 糊口，

6 H7114 H7114 收割 H7704 别人田间 H1098 的禾稼 H3953 ，摘取 H7563 恶人 H3754 余剩的葡萄，

7 H3885 终夜 H6174 赤身 H3830 无衣 H7135 ，天气寒冷 H3682 毫无遮盖，

8 H2022 在山上 H2230 被大雨 H7372 淋湿 H4268 ，因没有避身之处 H2263 就挨近 H6697 磐石。

9 H7699 又有人从母怀中 H1497 抢夺 H3490 孤儿 H6041 ，强取穷人 H2254 的衣服为当头，

10 H6174 使人赤身 H3830 无衣 H1980 ，到处流行 H7457 ，且因饥饿 H5375 扛抬 H6016 禾捆，

11 H7791 在那些人的围墙 H996 内 H6671 造油 H1869 H3342 ，醡酒 H6770 ，自己还口渴。

12 H5892 在多民的城内 H4962 有人 H5008 唉哼 H2491 ，受伤的 H5315 人 H7768 哀号 H433 ；神 H7760 却不理会 H8604 那恶人的愚妄。

13 H4775 又有人背弃 H216 光明 H5234 ，不认识 H1870 光明的道 H3427 ，不住在 H5410 光明的路上。

14 H7523 杀人的 H216 黎明 H6965 起来 H6991 ，杀害 H34 困苦 H6041 穷乏 H3915 人，夜间 H1590 又作盗贼。

15 H5003 姦夫 H8104 等候 H5399 黄昏 H559 ，说 H5869 ：必无眼 H7789 能见 H6440 我，就把脸 H5643 H7760 蒙蔽。

16 H2822 盗贼黑夜 H2864 挖窟窿 H3119 ；白日 H2856 躲藏 H3045 ，并不认识 H216 光明。

17 H1242 他们看早晨 H3162 如 H6757 幽暗 H5234 ，因为他们晓得 H6757 幽暗 H1091 的惊骇。

18 H6440 H4325 这些恶人犹如浮萍 H7031 快快飘去 H2513 。他们所得的分 H776 在世上 H7043 被咒诅 H6437 ；他们不得再走 H3754 葡萄园 H1870 的路。

19 H6723 乾旱 H2527 炎热 H1497 消没 H7950 雪 H4325 水 H7585 ；阴间 H2398 也如此消没犯罪之辈。

20 H7358 怀他的母（原文是胎 H7911 ）要忘记 H7415 他；虫子 H4988 要吃他，觉得甘甜 H2142 ；他不再被人纪念 H5766 。不义的人 H6086 必如树 H7665 折断。

21 H7462 他恶待（或译：他吞灭 H6135 ）不怀孕 H3205 不生养 H3190 的妇人，不善待 H490 寡妇。

22 H3581 然而神用能力 H4900 保全 H47 有势力的人 H2416 ；那性命 H539 难保的 H6965 人仍然兴起。

23 H5414 神使 H983 他们安稳 H8172 ，他们就有所倚靠 H5869 ；神的眼目 H1870 也看顾他们的道路。

24 H7426 他们被高举 H4592 ，不过片时 H4355 就没有了；他们降为卑 H7092 ，被除灭 H1870 ，与众人一样 H7641 ，又如榖 H7218 穗 H5243 被割。

25 H645 若不是 H7760 这样，谁能證实 H3576 我是说谎的 H4405 ，将我的言语 H7760 驳为 H408 虚空呢？

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Siksi ei Kaikkivaltiaalta ole ajat salatut? ja ne, jotka hänen tuntevat, ei näe hänen päiviänsä? ² He siirtävät rajan, he ryöväävät lauman ja ruokkivat sen. ' ³ He ajavat orpoin aasit pois, ja ottavat leskein härjät pantiksi. ⁴ Köyhäin täytyy tiellä paeta heitä, ja siviät maan päällä lymyttävät itsensä. ⁵ Katso, niinkuin metsä-aasit korvessa, lähtevät he ulos ja samoovat varhain saaliin perään: korvessa on jokaiselle heistä ruokaa, niin myös nuorukaisille. ⁶ He niittävät pellolla hänen tulonsa, ja poimivat ja hakevat jumalattoman viinamäessä. ⁷ Alastoman antavat he maata ilman vaatetta ja peittämättä pakkasessa. ⁸ Vuorten vuotamisesta tulevat he märäksi; ja ettei heillä yhtään turvaa ole, turvaavat he mäkiin. ⁹ He repivät orvot nisistä, ja panttaavat köyhän. ¹⁰ Alastoman antavat he käydä verhotta, ja ottavat isoovaiselta jalalliset pois. ¹¹ He pusertavat öljyä huonettensa vaiheella, ja janoovat viinaa kuurnitessa. ¹² He saattavat kansan kaupungissa huokaamaan, ja tapettuin sielut huutamaan: ja ei Jumala heitä rankaise. ¹³ Sentähden ovat he vilpistyneet valkeudesta, ja ei tunne sen tietä, ja ei palaja sen poluille. ¹⁴ Murhaaja nousee varhain ja tappaa köyhän ja tarvitsevan, ja on yöllä niinkuin varas. ¹⁵ Salavuoteisen silmät vartioitsevat hämärää, ja sanoo: ei minua yksikään silmä näe; ja luulee itsensä peitetyksi. ¹⁶ Pimeässä hän kaivaa itsensä huoneisiin, jotka he päivällä ovat itsellensä merkinneet, ja ei tahdo tietää valkeutta. ¹⁷ Sillä vaikka aamu heille tulis, on se heille niinkuin pimeys; sillä hän tuntee pimeyden kauhistuksen. ¹⁸ Hän on keviä veden päällä, heidän osansa pitää kirotun oleman maalla; ja ei hän katso viinamäkien tietä. ¹⁹ Helvetti ottaa syntiset pois niinkuin pouta, ja niinkuin kuivuus kuluttaa lumisen veden. ²⁰ Laupius pitää unhottaman hänen, madot syövät hänen makeutensa, ei häntä pidä muistettaman; hän pitää särjettämän niinkuin lahopuu. ²¹ Hän on saattanut murheelliseksi hedelmättömän, joka ei synnytä, ja ei tehnyt leskelle mitään hyvää. ²² Ja on vetänyt voimalliset allensa väellänsä; koska hän seisoo, ei pidä hänen tietämän elämästänsä. ²³ Hän tekee itsellensä levon, johon hän luottaa, ja hänen silmänsä katsovat heidän teitänsä. ²⁴ He ovat vähän aikaa korotetut, vaan he tulevat tyhjään, ja kukistetaan, ja saavat lopun niinkuin kaikki kappaleet, ja niinkuin oas tähkäpäästä, lyödään he pois. ²⁵ Eikö se niin ole? kuka nuhtelee minua valhetteliaksi, ja minun sanani tyhjäksi tekee?

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ "Miksi ei Kaikkivaltias ole varannut tuomion aikoja, ja miksi eivät saa ne, jotka hänet tuntevat, nähdä hänen päiviänsä? ² Jumalattomat siirtävät rajoja, ryöstävät laumoja ja laskevat ne laitumelle. ³ Orpojen aasin he vievät, ottavat pantiksi lesken lehmän. ⁴ He työntävät tieltä köyhät, kaikkien maan kurjain täytyy piileskellä. ⁵ Katso, nämä ovat kuin villiaasit erämaassa: lähtevät työhönsä saalista etsien, aro on heidän lastensa leipä. ⁶ Kedolta he korjaavat rehuviljaa ruuakseen, ja jumalattoman viinitarhasta he kärkkyvät tähteitä. ⁷ Alastomina, ilman vaatteita, he viettävät yönsä, eikä heillä ole peittoa kylmässä. ⁸ He ovat likomärkiä vuorilla vuotavasta sateesta, ja vailla suojaa he syleilevät kalliota. ⁹ idin rinnoilta riistetään orpo, ja kurjalta otetaan pantti. ¹⁰ He kuljeskelevat alastomina, ilman vaatteita, ja nälkäisinä he kantavat lyhteitä. ¹¹ Jumalattomain muuritarhoissa he pusertavat öljyä, he polkevat viinikuurnaa ja ovat itse janoissansa. ¹² Kaupungista kuuluu miesten voihkina, ja haavoitettujen sielu huutaa; mutta Jumala ei piittaa nurjuudesta. ¹³ Nuo ovat valon vihaajia, eivät tunne sen teitä eivätkä pysy sen poluilla. ¹⁴ Ennen päivän valkenemista nousee murhaaja, tappaa kurjan ja köyhän; ja yöllä hän hiipii kuin varas. ¹⁵ Avionrikkojan silmä tähyilee hämärää, hän arvelee: 'Ei yksikään silmä minua näe', ja hän panee peiton kasvoillensa. ¹⁶ He murtautuvat pimeässä taloihin, päivällä he sulkeutuvat sisään, tahtomatta tietää valosta. ¹⁷ Sillä pimeys on heille kaikille aamun vertainen, koska pimeyden kauhut ovat heille tutut." - ¹⁸ "Hän kiitää pois vetten viemänä, kirottu on hänen peltopalstansa maassa, hän ei enää poikkea viinimäkien tielle. ¹⁹ Kuivuus ja kuumuus ahmaisevat lumiveden, samoin tuonela ne, jotka syntiä tekevät. ²⁰ idin kohtu unhottaa hänet, madot syövät hänet herkkunaan, ei häntä enää muisteta; niin murskataan vääryys kuin puu. ²¹ Hän ryösti hedelmättömältä, joka ei synnytä, ja leskelle hän ei hyvää tehnyt." - ²² "Väkivaltaiset Jumala ylläpitää voimallansa; he pysyvät pystyssä, vaikka jo olivat epätoivossa hengestään. ²³ Hän antaa heidän olla turvassa, ja heillä on vahva tuki; ja hänen silmänsä valvovat heidän teitänsä. ²⁴ He ovat kohonneet korkealle-ei aikaakaan, niin ei heitä enää ole; he vaipuvat kokoon, kuolevat kuin kaikki muutkin, he taittuvat kuin vihneet tähkäpäästä. ²⁵ Eikö ole niin?

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Poukisa Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pa fikse yon dat pou li jije tout moun, yon jou pou li rann tout moun k'ap sèvi l' yo jistis? ² Mechan yo deplase bòn tè moun. Yo vòlò mouton lòt moun, mete ansanm avèk bann mouton pa yo. ³ Yo pran bourik ki pou timoun san papa yo. Yo sezi bèf vèv la jouk li resi peye dèt li. ⁴ Yo enpoze pòv yo jwenn sa ki vin pou yo. Yo fòse tout pòv malere kouri al kache. ⁵ Tankou bourik mawon, pòv yo soti al nan dezè a, y' al chache lavi pou pitit yo ki grangou. Pa gen lòt kote yo ka ale. ⁶ Y'ap ranmase rekòt pou lòt moun. Y'ap keyi rezen nan jaden pou mechan yo. ⁷ Lè yo toutouni, yo pa gen rad pou mete sou yo. Lannwit, yo pa gen anyen pou chofe kò yo lè yo frèt. ⁸ Lapli k'ap tonbe sou mòn yo mouye yo jouk nan zo. Yo kwoupi kò yo dèyè wòch pou pare lapli. ⁹ Mechan yo wete timoun san papa yo nan men manman yo pou fè yo tounen esklav. Yo pran rad pòv malere yo pou garanti dèt yo. ¹⁰ Pòv yo menm ap mache yon men devan yon men dèyè, san rad pou mete sou yo. Y'ap mache ranmase rekòt nan jaden, men y'ap mouri grangou. ¹¹ Nan lakou mechan yo y'ap moulen grenn oliv fè lwil. Y'ap kraze rezen fè diven. Men y'ap mouri swaf dlo. ¹² Nan lavil yo, ou tande moun k'ap mouri yo ap plenn. Ou tande moun ki blese yo ap rele anmwe. Men, Bondye fè tankou li pa tande yo. ¹³ Se moun sa yo ki pa vle wè limyè a. Yo derefize konprann limyè a. Yo pa vle pran chemen limyè a nan tou sa y'ap fè. ¹⁴ Anvan bajou kase, ansasen an gen tan leve, pou li al touye pòv malere yo. Lannwit, se vòlò l'ap mache vòlò. ¹⁵ Mouche marye k'ap fè adiltè a ap tann solèy kouche konsa. Li bouche figi l' pou pesonn pa wè l'. ¹⁶ Lannwit, vòlè ap kraze kay moun. Lajounen yo kache, y'ap kouri pou solèy. ¹⁷ Yo pè limyè lajounen an. Men, pa gen anyen ki pou fè yo pè nan fènwa a. ¹⁸ Lè sa a, Sofa di konsa: -Men dlo desann pote mechan yo ale. Madichon Bondye tonbe sou tout tè ki pou yo. Yo pa soti al travay nan jaden rezen yo. ¹⁹ Menm jan chalè fonn lanèj, lèfini tè sèk bwè dlo a, se konsa moun k'ap fè peche yo ap disparèt ale nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. ²⁰ Tout moun bliye yo. Ata manman ki fè yo pa chonje yo. Se vè k'ap manje kadav yo. Yo fini tankou yon pyebwa yo koupe jete. ²¹ Tou sa rive konsa, paske li maltrete fanm ki pa ka fè pitit. Li san pitye pou vèv yo. ²² Lè sa a, Bondye detwi gwo chèf yo ak fòs ponyèt li. Li annik parèt, mechan an konnen li mouri. ²³ Bondye kite l' viv alèz san pwoblèm, men, se toutan l'ap veye tou sa l'ap fè. ²⁴ Zafè mechan yo mache byen pou yon tan. Men, apre sa, yo fennen tankou zèb savann, tankou tèt ble yo koupe. ²⁵ Si se pa konsa sa ye, ki moun ki ka demanti sa m' di la a? Ki moun ki ka fè wè pawòl mwen yo pa vo anyen?

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Miért is nem titkolja el a Mindenható az õ [büntetésének] idejét, és miért is nem látják meg az õt ismerõk az õ [ítéletének] napjait?! ² A határokat odább tolják, a nyájat elrabolják és legeltetik. ³ Az árvák szamarát elhajtják, [és] az özvegynek ökrét zálogba viszik. ⁴ Lelökik az útról a szegényeket, [és] a föld nyomorultjai együtt lappanganak. ⁵ Ímé, mint a vad szamarak a sivatagban, úgy mennek ki munkájukra élelmet keresni; a puszta ad nékik kenyeret fiaik számára. ⁶ A mezõn a más vetését aratják, és a gonosznak szõlõjét szedik. ⁷ Mezítelenül hálnak, testi ruha nélkül, még a hidegben sincs takarójuk. ⁸ A hegyi zápor csurog le rólok, s hajlékuk nem lévén, a sziklát ölelik. ⁹ Elszakítják az emlõtõl az árvát, és a szegényen levõt zálogba viszik. ¹⁰ Mezítelenül járnak, ruha nélkül, és éhesen vonszolják a kévét. ¹¹ Az õ kerítéseik közt ütik az olajat, és tapossák a kádakat, de szomjuhoznak. ¹² A városból haldoklók rimánkodnak, a megsebzettek lelke kiált, de Isten nem törõdik e méltatlansággal. ¹³ Ezek pártot ütöttek a világosság ellen, utait nem is ismerik, nem ülnek annak ösvényein. ¹⁴ Napkeltekor fölkel a gyilkos, megöli a szegényt és szûkölködõt, éjjel pedig olyan, mint a tolvaj. ¹⁵ A paráznának szeme pedig az alkonyatot lesi, mondván: Ne nézzen szem reám, és arczára álarczot teszen. ¹⁶ Setétben tör be a házakba; nappal elzárkóznak, nem szeretik a világosságot. ¹⁷ Sõt inkább a reggel nékik olyan, mint a halálnak árnyéka, mert megbarátkoztak a halál árnyékának félelmeivel. ¹⁸ Könnyen siklik tova a víz színén, birtoka átkozott a földön, nem tér a szõlõkbe vivõ útra. ¹⁹ Szárazság és hõség nyeli el a hó vizét, a pokol azokat, a kik vétkeznek. ²⁰ Elfelejti õt az anyaméh, féregnek lesz édességévé, nem emlékeznek róla többé, és összetörik, mint a reves fa, ²¹ A ki megrontotta a meddõt, a ki nem szül, és az özvegygyel jót nem tett. ²² De megtámogatja erejével a hatalmasokat; felkel az, pedig nem bízott már az élethez. ²³ Biztonságot ad néki, hogy támaszkodjék, de szemei vigyáznak azoknak útjaira. ²⁴ Magasra emelkednek, egy kevés idõ és már nincsenek! Alásülylyednek, mint akárki és elenyésznek; és levágattatnak, mint a búzakalász. ²⁵ Avagy nem így van-é? Ki hazudtolhatna meg engem, és tehetné semmivé beszédemet?

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mengapa Allah tak menetapkan hari penghakiman, supaya orang-orang yang mengenal-Nya mendapat keadilan? ² Ada orang-orang yang menggeser tanda batas, supaya tanahnya menjadi luas. Mereka mencuri kawanan domba, dan mengandangnya di kandang domba mereka. ³ Keledai milik yatim piatu, mereka larikan; sapi seorang janda, mereka sita sebagai jaminan. ⁴ Mereka menghalangi orang miskin mendapat haknya, maka terpaksa bersembunyilah orang yang papa. ⁵ Jadi, si miskin itu seperti keledai liar yang mencari makan di padang belukar; hanya di tempat-tempat itu saja ada makanan untuk anak-anaknya. ⁶ Ladang orang lain terpaksa ia kerjakan; buah anggur orang jahat harus ia kumpulkan. ⁷ Ia tak punya selimut dan pakaian penghangat tubuh di waktu malam. ⁸ Ia basah oleh hujan lebat di gunung, lalu merapat pada gunung batu untuk berlindung. ⁹ Orang jahat memperbudak anak yang tak beribu bapa, dan mengambil bayi orang miskin yang berhutang kepadanya. ¹⁰ Orang miskin pergi tanpa sandang; ia lapar selagi ia menuai gandum di ladang. ¹¹ Dari zaitun ia membuat minyak dan dari buah anggur, minuman, tetapi ia sendiri sangat kehausan. ¹² Di kota-kota terdengar rintihan orang sekarat, orang-orang luka berseru minta dirawat, tetapi Allah tak mendengarkan doa mereka; Ia tak mau mengindahkannya. ¹³ Ada orang-orang yang menolak terang dan memusuhinya, mereka tak mengenal dan tak mengikuti jalannya. ¹⁴ Di waktu subuh si pembunuh bangun dari tidurnya, lalu keluar membunuh orang yang papa, dan selagi hari belum pagi, ia mengendap-endap seperti pencuri. ¹⁵ Si pezinah menunggu datangnya senja; dipakainya tudung muka agar orang tak mengenalnya. ¹⁶ Pencuri membongkar rumah pada malam hari; di waktu siang ia menghindari terang dan bersembunyi. ¹⁷ Baginya, pagi sangat menakutkan, tapi gelap yang dahsyat, menyenangkan." ¹⁸ Lalu kata Zofar, "Orang jahat hanyut oleh air bah, tanah miliknya terkutuk oleh Allah; kebun anggurnya kini sepi; tak ada yang bekerja di situ lagi. ¹⁹ Seperti salju lenyap kena kemarau dan matahari, demikianlah orang berdosa ditelan ke dalam dunia orang mati. ²⁰ Ibunya sendiri melupakan dia, dan cacing-cacing makan tubuhnya. Namanya tak akan lagi dikenang; ia dimusnahkan seperti pohon yang tumbang. ²¹ Semua itu terjadi karena ia menindas para janda, dan berlaku kejam kepada ibu yang tak berputra. ²² Tapi Allah, dengan kuasa-Nya, menghalau orang perkasa. Allah bertindak, maka matilah orang durhaka. ²³ Allah memberi dia hidup sentosa, tetapi mengawasinya tak henti-hentinya. ²⁴ Hanya sebentar ia hidup bahagia, tapi kemudian pergi untuk selama-lamanya. Ia layu seperti rumput yang tak berguna; seperti bulir padi yang dipotong dari batangnya. ²⁵ Siapakah dapat menyangkal kenyataan itu, atau menyanggah kebenaran perkataanku?"

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Perchè non dirassi che i tempi sono occultati dall’Onnipotente, E che quelli che lo conoscono, non veggono i suoi giorni? ² Gli empi muovono i termini, Rapiscono le gregge, e le pasturano; ³ Menano via l’asino degli orfani; Prendono in pegno il bue della vedova; ⁴ Fanno torcere i bisognosi dalla via, I poveri della terra si nascondono tutti. ⁵ Ecco, son simili ad asini salvatici nel deserto: Escono al lor mestiere, si levano la mattina per andare alla preda; La campagna è il lor pane, per li lor fantini. ⁶ Mietono il campo, E vendemmiano la vigna che non è loro. ⁷ Fanno passar la notte agl’ignudi senza vestimenti, Sì che non hanno con che coprirsi al freddo. ⁸ Sono bagnati dalle acque che traboccano da’ monti; E per mancamento di ricetto, abbracciano i sassi. ⁹ Rapiscono l’orfano dalla poppa, E prendono pegno dal povero. ¹⁰ Fanno andar gl’ignudi senza vestimenti; E quelli che portano loro le manelle delle biade soffrono fame. ¹¹ Quelli che spremono loro l’olio intra i lor muri, E quelli che calcano ne’ torcoli soffrono sete. ¹² Gli uomini gemono dalla città E l’anima de’ feriti a morte sclama; E pure Iddio non appone loro alcun fallo. ¹³ Essi son di quelli che son ribelli alla luce, Non conoscono le sue vie, E non si fermano ne’ suoi sentieri. ¹⁴ Il micidiale si leva allo schiarir del dì Uccide il povero, e il bisognoso; E poi la notte opera da ladro. ¹⁵ Parimente l’occhio dell’adultero osserva la sera, Dicendo: L’occhio di alcuno non mi scorgerà; E si nasconde la faccia. ¹⁶ Di notte sconficcano le case, Che si aveano segnate di giorno; Non conoscono la luce, ¹⁷ Perciocchè la mattina è ad essi tutti ombra di morte; Se alcuno li riconosce, hanno spaventi dell’ombra della morte. ¹⁸ Fuggono leggermente, come in su le acque; La lor parte è maledetta nella terra, Non riguardano alla via delle vigne. ¹⁹ La secchezza e il caldo involano le acque della neve; Così il sepolcro invola quelli che hanno peccato. ²⁰ La matrice li dimentica, I vermini son loro dolci, Non son più ricordati; Anzi i perversi son rotti come un legno. ²¹ E benchè tormentino la sterile che non partorisce, E non facciano alcun bene alla vedova; ²² E traggano giù i possenti con la lor forza; E, quando si levano, altri non si assicuri della vita; ²³ Pur nondimeno Iddio dà loro a che potersi sicuramente appoggiare, E gli occhi suoi sono sopra le lor vie. ²⁴ Per un poco di tempo sono innalzati, poi non son più; Sono abbattuti, e trapassano come tutti gli altri, E son ricisi come la sommità d’una spiga. ²⁵ Se ora egli non è così, chi mi dimentirà, E metterà al niente il mio ragionamento?

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Perché non sono dall’Onnipotente fissati dei tempi in cui renda la giustizia? Perché quelli che lo conoscono non veggono quei giorni? ² Gli empi spostano i termini, rapiscono greggi e li menano a pascere; ³ portano via l’asino dell’orfano, prendono in pegno il bove della vedova; ⁴ mandano via dalla strada i bisognosi, i poveri del paese si nascondo tutti insieme. ⁵ Eccoli, che come onàgri del deserto escono al lor lavoro in cerca di cibo; solo il deserto dà pane a’ lor figliuoli. ⁶ Raccolgono nei campi la loro pastura, raspollano nella vigna dell’empio; ⁷ passan la notte ignudi, senza vestito, senza una coperta che li ripari dal freddo. ⁸ Bagnati dagli acquazzoni di montagna, per mancanza di rifugio, si stringono alle rocce. ⁹ Ce n’è di quelli che strappano dalla mammella l’orfano, che prendono pegni da poveri! ¹⁰ E questi se ne vanno, ignudi, senza vestiti; hanno fame, e portano i covoni. ¹¹ Fanno l’olio nel recinto dell’empio; calcan l’uva nel tino e patiscon la sete. ¹² Sale dalle città il gemito de’ morenti; l’anima de’ feriti implora aiuto, e Dio non si cura di codeste infamie! ¹³ Ve ne son di quelli che si ribellano alla luce, non ne conoscono le vie, non ne battono i sentieri. ¹⁴ L’assassino si leva sul far del giorno, e ammazza il meschino e il povero; la notte fa il ladro. ¹⁵ L’occhio dell’adultero spia il crepuscolo, dicendo: "Nessuno mi vedrà!" e si copre d’un velo la faccia. ¹⁶ I ladri, di notte, sfondano le case; di giorno, si tengono rinchiusi; non conoscono la luce. ¹⁷ Il mattino è per essi come ombra di morte; appena lo scorgono provano i terrori del buio. ¹⁸ Voi dite: "L’empio è una festuca sulla faccia dell’acque; la sua parte sulla terra è maledetta; non prenderà più la via delle vigne. ¹⁹ Come la siccità e il calore assorbon le acque della neve, così il soggiorno de’ morti inghiottisce chi ha peccato. ²⁰ Il seno che lo portò l’oblia; i vermi ne fanno il loro pasto delizioso, nessuno più lo ricorda. ²¹ L’iniquo sarà troncato come un albero: ei che divorava la sterile, priva di figli, e non faceva del bene alla vedova!" ²² Invece, Iddio con la sua forza prolunga i giorni dei prepotenti, i quali risorgono, quand’ormai disperavan della vita. ²³ Dà loro sicurezza, fiducia, e i suoi occhi vegliano sul loro cammino. ²⁴ Salgono in alto, poi scompaiono ad un tratto; cadono, son mietuti come gli altri mortali; son falciati come le spighe del grano maturo. ²⁵ Se così non è, chi mi smentirà, chi annienterà il mio dire?"

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 어찌하여 전능자가 시기를 정하지 아니하셨는고 어찌하여 그를 아는 자들이 그의 날을 보지 못하는고 ² 어떤 사람은 지계표를 옮기며 양떼를 빼앗아 기르며 ³ 고아의 나귀를 몰아 가며 과부의 소를 볼모 잡으며 ⁴ 빈궁한 자를 길에서 몰아 내나니 세상에 가난한 자가 다 스스로 숨는구나 ⁵ 그들은 거친 땅의 들나귀 같아서 나가서 일하며 먹을 것을 부지런히 구하니 광야가 그 자식을 위하여 그에게 식물을 내는구나 ⁶ 밭에서 남의 곡식을 베며 악인의 남겨 둔 포도를 따며 ⁷ 의복이 없어 벗은 몸으로 밤을 지내며 추위에 덮을 것이 없으며 ⁸ 산 중 소나기에 젖으며 가리울 것이 없어 바위를 안고 있느니라 ⁹ 어떤 사람은 고아를 어미 품에서 빼앗으며 가난한 자의 옷을 볼모 잡으므로 ¹⁰ 그들이 옷이 없어 벌거벗고 다니며 주리면서 곡식 단을 메며 ¹¹ 그 사람의 담 안에서 기름을 짜며 목말라 하면서 술 틀을 밟느니라 ¹² 인구 많은 성 중에서 사람들이 신음하며 상한 자가 부르짖으나 하나님이 그 불의를 보지 아니하시느니라 ¹³ 또 광명을 배반하는 사람들은 이러하니 그들은 광명의 길을 알지 못하며 그 첩경에 머물지 아니하는 자라 ¹⁴ 사람을 죽이는 자는 새벽에 일어나서 가난한 자나 빈궁한 자를 죽이고 밤에는 도적 같이 되며 ¹⁵ 간음하는 자의 눈은 저물기를 바라며 아무 눈도 나를 보지 못하리라 하고 얼굴을 변장하며 ¹⁶ 밤에 집을 뚫는 자는 낮에는 문을 닫고 있은즉 광명을 알지 못하나니 ¹⁷ 그들은 다 아침을 흑암 같이 여기니 흑암의 두려움을 앎이니라 ¹⁸ 그들은 물 위에 빨리 흘러가고 그 산업은 세상에서 저주를 받나니 그들이 다시는 포도원 길로 행치 못할 것이라 ¹⁹ 가뭄과 더위가 눈 녹은 물을 곧 말리나니 음부가 범죄자에게도 그와 같은 것인즉 ²⁰ 태가 그를 잊어버리고 구더기가 그를 달게 먹을 것이라 그는 기억함을 다시 얻지 못하나니 불의가 나무처럼 꺾이리라 ²¹ 그는 잉태치 못하므로 해산치 못한 여인을 학대하며 과부를 선대치 아니하는 자니라 ²² 그러나 하나님이 그 권능으로 강한 자들을 보존시키시니 살기를 바라지 못할 자도 일어나는구나 ²³ 하나님이 그들을 호위하사 평안케 하시나 그 눈은 그들의 길에 있구나 ²⁴ 그들은 높아져도 잠시간에 없어지나니 낮아져서 범인처럼 제함을 당하고 곡식 이삭같이 베임을 입느니라 ²⁵ 가령 그렇지 않을지라도 능히 내 말을 거짓되다 지적하거나 내 말이 헛되다 변박할 자 누구랴

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ “Visagalis žino laikus, tai kodėl tie, kurie Jį pažįsta, nesulaukia Jo dienos? ² Vieni perkelia ribas, smurtu pagrobia bandas ir jas gano. ³ Našlaičių asilą jie nusivaro, našlės jautį paima kaip užstatą. ⁴ Vargšus jie nustumia nuo kelio, krašto beturčiai slepiasi nuo jų. ⁵ Jie eina į savo darbą kaip laukiniai asilai dykumoje, anksti keliasi ieškoti grobio, nes tyruose jie randa maisto sau ir savo vaikams. ⁶ Jie renka varpas ne savo lauke ir nedorėlio vynuogyne pasiskina vynuogių. ⁷ Jie miega neapsikloję ir neturi kuo apsidengti šaltyje. ⁸ Jie šlapi nuo kalnų lietaus ir glaudžiasi prie uolos, ieškodami slėptuvės. ⁹ Anie atplėšia našlaitį nuo krūtinės ir ima užstatą iš vargšo, ¹⁰ kuris vaikščioja nuogas, neturėdamas drabužių; atima varpas iš alkstančių, ¹¹ kurie gamina aliejų šeimininkui, mina vyno spaustuvus, tačiau kenčia troškulį. ¹² Žmonės dejuoja mieste ir sužeistųjų sielos šaukiasi pagalbos, tačiau Dievas neapkaltina jų. ¹³ Jie sukyla prieš šviesą, nepažįsta jos kelių, neina jos takais. ¹⁴ Anksti rytą keliasi žudikas ir žudo beturtį ir vargšą; naktį jis slankioja kaip vagis. ¹⁵ Svetimautojas laukia sutemų, tikėdamas, kad niekas jo nematys, jis užsidengia savo veidą. ¹⁶ Tamsoje jie plėšia namus, kuriuos numatė dieną; šviesos jie nežino. ¹⁷ Nes rytas jiems kaip mirties šešėlis, jei kas pažins juos, tai juos gąsdina kaip mirtis. ¹⁸ Jis greitas kaip vanduo; jo dalis prakeikta žemėje. Jis neina keliu į vynuogyną. ¹⁹ Kaip sausra ir kaitra praryja sniego vandenis, taip pragaras praryja nusidėjėlį. ²⁰ Įsčios pamirš jį, kirmėlės skaniai maitinsis juo, jo niekas nebeprisimins. Piktadarys kaip nukirstas medis, ²¹ nes išnaudojo nevaisingąją ir našlei nepadėjo. ²² Dievas pašalina galiūnus savo jėga; Jis pakyla, ir joks žmogus nėra tikras dėl savo gyvybės. ²³ Jis teikia jiems saugumą ir poilsį, bet Jo akys stebi jų kelius. ²⁴ Jie išaukštinami trumpam laikui, bet pranyksta ir tampa nieku. Jie pašalinami iš kelio ir sudžiūsta kaip javų varpos. ²⁵ Argi taip nėra? Kas įrodys, kad aš netiesą kalbu ir esu melagis?”

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Czemuż od Wszechmocnego nie są zakryte czasy? a którzy go znają, nie widzą dni jego? ² Niezbożni granice przenoszą, trzody zabierają i pasą. ³ Osła sierotek zajmują, a wołu od wdowy w zastawie biorą. ⁴ Spychają ubogich z drogi; spólnie się muszą nędzni kryć na ziemi. ⁵ Oto jako leśne osły w puszczach wychodzą na robotę swoję, wstawając rano na łupiestwo; pustynia jest chlebem ich, i dzieci ich. ⁶ Na polu ubogiego pożynają zboże, a niepobożni z winnic zbierają. ⁷ Nagich nocować przymuszają bez odzienia, którzy się nie mają czem nakryć na zimnie. ⁸ Powodzią gór zmaczani bywają, nie mając mieszkania przytulają się do skały. ⁹ Porywają sierotkę od piersi, a od ubogiego biorą zastaw. ¹⁰ Nagiemu dopuszczają chodzić bez odzienia, a o głodzie chowają tych, którzy ich snopy noszą. ¹¹ A ci, którzy między murami ich wyciskają oliwę i prasy tłoczą, pragną. ¹² Ludzie w mieście wzdychają, a dusze zabitych wołają, a Bóg temu wstrętu nie czyni. ¹³ Cić to są, którzy się sprzeciwiają światłości, a nie znają dróg jej, ani stanęli na ścieszkach jej. ¹⁴ Raniuczko wstaje mężobójca, zabija ubogiego i niedostatecznego, a w nocy jest jako złodziej. ¹⁵ Oko cudzołożnika pilnuje zmierzku, mówiąc: Nie ujrzy mię nikt; i zakrywa oblicze swe. ¹⁶ Podkopywają w ciemności domy, które sobie naznaczyli, i nienawidzą światła. ¹⁷ Ale zaranek jest im jako cień śmierci; jeźli ich kto pozna, przypada na nich strach cienia śmierci. ¹⁸ Lekkimi są na wodach; przeklęty dział ich na ziemi; nie patrzą na drogę wolną. ¹⁹ Jako susza i gorącość trawią wody śnieżne, tak grób grzeszników. ²⁰ Zapomina go żywot matki jego, a robak słodkość z niego czuje; niemasz więcej pamiątki jego, a nieprawość połamana jest jako drzewo. ²¹ Roztrąca niepłodną, która nierodziła, a wdowie nie czyni dobrze. ²² Pociąga też mocarzy możnością swoją: a gdy na nich powstał, zwątpili o żywocie swoim. ²³ Daje mu Bóg, na czemby bezpiecznie spolegać mógł: wszakże oczy jego patrzą na drogi ich. ²⁴ Na chwilę wywyższeni są, alić ich niemasz; zniżeni i ściśnieni będą jako inni wszyscy, a jako wierzch kłosa ścięci będą. ²⁵ A jeźli nie tak jest, gdzież jest ten, coby mi zadał kłamstwo, a coby obrócił wniwecz słowa moje?

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Por que o Todo-Poderoso não designa tempos? e por que os que o conhecem não vêem os seus dias? ² Há os que removem os limites; roubam os rebanhos, e os apascentam. ³ Levam o jumento do órfão, tomam em penhor o boi da viúva. ⁴ Desviam do caminho os necessitados; e os oprimidos da terra juntos se escondem. ⁵ Eis que, como jumentos monteses no deserto, saem eles ao seu trabalho, procurando no ermo a presa que lhes sirva de sustento para seus filhos. ⁶ No campo segam o seu pasto, e vindimam a vinha do ímpio. ⁷ Passam a noite nus, sem roupa, não tendo coberta contra o frio. ⁸ Pelas chuvas das montanhas são molhados e, por falta de abrigo, abraçam-se com as rochas. ⁹ Há os que arrancam do peito o órfão, e tomam o penhor do pobre; ¹⁰ fazem que estes andem nus, sem roupa, e, embora famintos, carreguem os molhos. ¹¹ Espremem o azeite dentro dos muros daqueles homens; pisam os seus lagares, e ainda têm sede. ¹² Dentro das cidades gemem os moribundos, e a alma dos feridos clama; e contudo Deus não considera o seu clamor. ¹³ Há os que se revoltam contra a luz; não conhecem os caminhos dela, e não permanecem nas suas veredas. ¹⁴ O homicida se levanta de madrugada, mata o pobre e o necessitado, e de noite torna-se ladrão. ¹⁵ Também os olhos do adúltero aguardam o crepúsculo, dizendo: Ninguém me verá; e disfarça o rosto. ¹⁶ Nas trevas minam as casas; de dia se conservam encerrados; não conhecem a luz. ¹⁷ Pois para eles a profunda escuridão é a sua manhã; porque são amigos das trevas espessas. ¹⁸ São levados ligeiramente sobre a face das águas; maldita é a sua porção sobre a terra; não tornam pelo caminho das vinhas. ¹⁹ A sequidão e o calor desfazem as, águas da neve; assim faz o Seol aos que pecaram. ²⁰ A madre se esquecerá dele; os vermes o comerão gostosamente; não será mais lembrado; e a iniquidade se quebrará como árvore. ²¹ Ele despoja a estéril que não dá à luz, e não faz bem à viúva. ²² Todavia Deus prolonga a vida dos valentes com a sua força; levantam-se quando haviam desesperado da vida. ²³ Se ele lhes dá descanso, estribam-se, nisso; e os seus olhos estão sobre os caminhos deles. ²⁴ Eles se exaltam, mas logo desaparecem; são abatidos, colhidos como os demais, e cortados como as espigas do trigo. ²⁵ Se não é assim, quem me desmentirá e desfará as minhas palavras?

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Hvorfor lar den Allmektige aldri sine straffetider komme? Og hvorfor får de som kjenner ham, ikke se hans dager? ² Folk flytter grenseskjell; de raner fe og fører det på beite. ³ Farløses asen driver de bort; enkens okse tar de i pant. ⁴ Fattigfolk trenger de ut av veien; alle de saktmodige i landet må skjule sig. ⁵ Ja, som villesler i ørkenen går de ut til sin gjerning og leter efter føde; ødemarken gir dem brød til barna. ⁶ På marken høster de den ugudeliges fôr, og i hans vingård holder de efterhøst. ⁷ Nakne overnatter de uten klær og uten dekke i kulden. ⁸ Av skyllregnet på fjellet blir de våte, og fordi de ikke har noget annet ly, trykker de sig inn til berget. ⁹ Den farløse rives bort fra mors bryst, og armingens klær blir tatt som pant. ¹⁰ Nakne går de, uten klær, og sultne bærer de kornbånd. ¹¹ Mellem de ugudeliges murer perser de olje; de treder vinpersene og tørster. ¹² Fra byen lyder døendes stønn, og de hårdt sårede skriker om hjelp; men Gud enser ikke slik urett. ¹³ Andre er fiender av lyset; de kjenner ikke dets veier og holder sig ikke på dets stier. ¹⁴ Før dag står morderen op, slår ihjel den som er arm og fattig, og om natten er han som tyven. ¹⁵ Horkarlens øie speider efter skumringen; han sier: Intet øie ser mig, og han dekker sitt ansikt til. ¹⁶ I mørket bryter de inn i husene, om dagen lukker de sig inne; lyset vil de ikke vite av. ¹⁷ For nattens mørke er morgen for dem alle; de er velkjente med nattemørkets redsler. ¹⁸ Hastig* rives de med av strømmen; forbannet blir deres arvedel i landet; de ferdes ikke mere på veien til vingårdene. / {* mener I.} ¹⁹ Tørke og hete sluker snevann, dødsriket dem som synder. ²⁰ Hans mors liv glemmer ham, makken fortærer ham med lyst, ingen minnes ham mere, og ondskapen blir som et splintret tre. ²¹ Slik går det med den som har plyndret den ufruktbare, som ikke fødte, og aldri har gjort godt mot enker. ²² Men* Gud opholder voldsmennene lenge med sin kraft; de reiser sig igjen, skjønt de mistvilte om livet. / {* Dette er Jobs svar.} ²³ Han lar dem leve i trygghet og støtter dem; hans øine våker over deres veier. ²⁴ De stiger høit; en liten stund, så er de ikke mere; de segner og dør som alle andre, og som aks-toppen skjæres de av. ²⁵ Og er det nu ikke så, hvem gjør mig da til løgner og mitt ord til intet?

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pentruce nu păzeşte Cel Atotputernic vremurile de judecată, şi dece nu văd ceice -L cunosc zilele Lui de pedeapsă? ² Sînt unii cari mută hotarele, fură turmele, şi le pasc; ³ iau măgarul orfanului, iau zălog vaca văduvei; ⁴ îmbrîncesc din drum pe cei lipsiţi, silesc pe toţi nenorociţii din ţară să se ascundă. ⁵ Şi aceştia, ca măgarii sălbatici din pustie, ies dimineaţa la lucru să caute hrană, şi în pustie trebuie să caute pînea pentru copiii lor. ⁶ Taie nutreţul care a mai rămas pe cîmp, culeg ciorchinele rămase pe urma culegătorilor în via celui nelegiuit. ⁷ Îi apucă noaptea în umezeală, fără îmbrăcăminte, fără învelitoare împotriva frigului. ⁸ Îi pătrunde ploaia munţilor, şi, neavînd alt adăpost, se ghemuiesc lîngă stînci. ⁹ Aceia smulg pe orfan dela ţîţă, iau zălog tot ce are săracul. ¹⁰ Şi săracii umblă goi de tot, fără îmbrăcăminte, strîng snopii şi -s flămînzi; ¹¹ în grădinile nelegiuitului ei fac untdelemn, calcă teascul, şi le este sete; ¹² în cetăţi se aud vaietele celor ce mor, sufletul celor răniţi strigă... Şi Dumnezeu nu ia seama la aceste mişelii! ¹³ Alţii sînt vrăjmaşi ai luminii, nu cunosc căile ei, nu umblă pe cărările ei. ¹⁴ Ucigaşul se scoală în revărsatul zorilor, ucide pe cel sărac şi lipsit, şi noaptea fură. ¹⁵ Ochiul preacurvarului pîndeşte amurgul:,Nimeni nu mă va vedea,` zice el, şi îşi pune o măhramă pe faţă. ¹⁶ Noaptea sparg casele, ziua stau închişi; se tem de lumină. ¹⁷ Pentru ei, dimineaţa este umbra morţii, şi cînd o văd, simt toate spaimele morţii. ¹⁸ Dar nelegiuitul alunecă uşor pe faţa apelor, pe pămînt n'are decît o parte blestemată, şi niciodată n'apucă pe drumul celor vii! ¹⁹ Cum sorb seceta şi căldura apele zăpezii, aşa înghite locuinţa morţilor pe cei ce păcătuiesc. ²⁰ Pîntecele mamei îl uită, viermii se ospătează cu el, nimeni nu-şi mai aduce aminte de el! Nelegiuitul este sfărîmat ca un copac, ²¹ el, care pradă pe femeia stearpă şi fără copii, el care nu face nici un bine văduvei!... ²² Şi totuş, Dumnezeu prin puterea Lui lungeşte zilele celor sîlnici, şi iată -i în picioare cînd nu mai trăgeau nădejde de viaţă; ²³ El le dă linişte şi încredere, are privirile îndreptate spre căile lor. ²⁴ S'au ridicat; şi într'o clipă nu mai sînt, cad, mor ca toţi oamenii, sînt tăiaţi ca spicele coapte. ²⁵ Nu este aşa? Cine mă va dovedi de minciună, cine-mi va nimici cuvintele mele?``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Для чого часи не заховані від Всемогутнього? Ті ж, що знають Його, Його днів не побачать! ² Пересовують межі безбожні, стадо грабують вони та пасуть, ³ займають осла в сиротини, беруть у заставу вола від удовиць, ⁴ вони бідних з дороги спихають, разом мусять ховатися збіджені краю... ⁵ Тож вони, бідарі, немов дикі осли на пустині, виходять на працю свою, здобичі шукаючи, степ йому хліба дає для дітей... ⁶ На полі вночі вони жнуть, і збирають собі виноград у безбожного, ⁷ наго ночують вони, без одежі, і не мають вкриття собі в холоді, ⁸ мокнуть від зливи гірської, а заслони не маючи, скелю вони обіймають... ⁹ Сироту відривають від перс, і в заставу беруть від убогого... ¹⁰ Ходять наго вони, без вбрання, і голодними носять снопи. ¹¹ Хоч між мурами їхніми роблять оливу, топчуть чавила, та прагнуть вони! ¹² Стогнуть люди із міста, і кричить душа вбиваних, а Бог на це зло не звертає уваги... ¹³ Вони проти світла бунтують, не знають доріг Його, і на стежках Його не сидять. ¹⁴ На світанку встає душогуб, замордовує бідного та злидаря, а ніч він проводить, як злодій... ¹⁵ А перелюбника око чекає смеркання, говорячи: Не побачить мене жодне око! і заслону кладе на обличчя... ¹⁶ Підкопуються під доми в темноті, замикаються вдень, світла не знають вони, ¹⁷ бо ранок для них усіх разом то темрява, і знають вони жахи темряви... ¹⁸ Такий легкий він на поверхні води, на землі їхня частка проклята, не вернеться він на дорогу садів-виноградів... ¹⁹ Як посуха та спека їдять сніжну воду, так шеол поїсть грішників! ²⁰ Забуде його лоно матері, буде жерти черва його, мов солодощі, більше не буде він згадуваний, і безбожник поламаний буде, мов дерево!... ²¹ Чинить зло для бездітної він, щоб вона не родила, і вдовиці не зробить добра. ²² А міццю своєю він тягне могутніх, коли він встає, то ніхто вже не певний свойого життя! ²³ Бог дає йому все на безпеку, і на те він спирається, та очі Його бачать їхні дороги: ²⁴ підіймуться трохи й немає вже їх, бо понижені... Як усе, вони гинуть, і зрізуються, немов та колоскова головка... ²⁵ Якщо ж ні, то хто зробить мене неправдомовцем, а слово моє на марноту оберне?
