| [1]Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? |
[1]מַדּ֗וּעַ מִ֭שַּׁדַּי לֹא־נִצְפְּנ֣וּ עִתִּ֑ים [וְיֹדְעֹו כ] (וְ֝יֹדְעָ֗יו ק) לֹא־חָ֥זוּ יָמָֽיו׃ |
| [2]Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. |
[2]גְּבֻלֹ֥ות יַשִּׂ֑יגוּ עֵ֥דֶר גָּ֝זְל֗וּ וַיִּרְעֽוּ׃ |
| [3]They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. |
[3]חֲמֹ֣ור יְתֹומִ֣ים יִנְהָ֑גוּ יַ֝חְבְּל֗וּ שֹׁ֣ור אַלְמָנָֽה׃ |
| [4]They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. |
[4]יַטּ֣וּ אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים מִדָּ֑רֶךְ יַ֥חַד חֻ֝בְּא֗וּ עֲנִיֵּי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
| [5]Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. |
[5]הֵ֤ן פְּרָאִ֨ים ׀ בַּֽמִּדְבָּ֗ר יָצְא֣וּ בְּ֭פָעֳלָם מְשַׁחֲרֵ֣י לַטָּ֑רֶף עֲרָבָ֥ה לֹ֥ו לֶ֝֗חֶם לַנְּעָרִֽים׃ |
| [6]They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. |
[6]בַּ֭שָּׂדֶה בְּלִילֹ֣ו [יַקְצִירוּ כ] (יִקְצֹ֑ורוּ ק) וְכֶ֖רֶם רָשָׁ֣ע יְלַקֵּֽשׁוּ׃ |
| [7]They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. |
[7]עָרֹ֣ום יָ֭לִינוּ מִבְּלִ֣י לְב֑וּשׁ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת בַּקָּרָֽה׃ |
| [8]They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. |
[8]מִזֶּ֣רֶם הָרִ֣ים יִרְטָ֑בוּ וּֽמִבְּלִ֥י מַ֝חְסֶ֗ה חִבְּקוּ־צֽוּר׃ |
| [9]They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. |
[9]יִ֭גְזְלוּ מִשֹּׁ֣ד יָתֹ֑ום וְֽעַל־עָנִ֥י יַחְבֹּֽלוּ׃ |
| [10]They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry; |
[10]עָרֹ֣ום הִ֭לְּכוּ בְּלִ֣י לְב֑וּשׁ וּ֝רְעֵבִ֗ים נָ֣שְׂאוּ עֹֽמֶר׃ |
| [11]Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. |
[11]בֵּין־שׁוּרֹתָ֥ם יַצְהִ֑ירוּ יְקָבִ֥ים דָּ֝רְכ֗וּ וַיִּצְמָֽאוּ׃ |
| [12]Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. |
[12]מֵ֘עִ֤יר מְתִ֨ים ׀ יִנְאָ֗קוּ וְנֶֽפֶשׁ־חֲלָלִ֥ים תְּשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וֶ֝אֱלֹ֗והַּ לֹא־יָשִׂ֥ים תִּפְלָֽה׃ |
| [13]They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. |
[13]הֵ֤מָּה ׀ הָיוּ֮ בְּֽמֹרְדֵ֫י־אֹ֥ור לֹֽא־הִכִּ֥ירוּ דְרָכָ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָֽיו׃ |
| [14]The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. |
[14]לָאֹ֡ור יָ֘ק֤וּם רֹוצֵ֗חַ יִֽקְטָל־עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְיֹ֑ון וּ֝בַלַּ֗יְלָה יְהִ֣י כַגַּנָּֽב׃ |
| [15]The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. |
[15]וְעֵ֤ין נֹאֵ֨ף ׀ שָׁ֤מְרָֽה נֶ֣שֶׁף לֵ֭אמֹר לֹא־תְשׁוּרֵ֣נִי עָ֑יִן וְסֵ֖תֶר פָּנִ֣ים יָשִֽׂים׃ |
| [16]In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. |
[16]חָתַ֥ר בַּחֹ֗שֶׁךְ בָּ֫תִּ֥ים יֹומָ֥ם חִתְּמוּ־לָ֗מֹו לֹא־יָ֥דְעוּ אֹֽור׃ |
| [17]For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. |
[17]כִּ֤י יַחְדָּ֨ו ׀ בֹּ֣קֶר לָ֣מֹו צַלְמָ֑וֶת כִּֽי־יַ֝כִּ֗יר בַּלְהֹ֥ות צַלְמָֽוֶת׃ |
| [18]He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. |
[18]קַֽל־ה֤וּא ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי־מַ֗יִם תְּקֻלַּ֣ל חֶלְקָתָ֣ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ לֹֽא־יִ֝פְנֶה דֶּ֣רֶךְ כְּרָמִֽים׃ |
| [19]Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. |
[19]צִיָּ֤ה גַם־חֹ֗ם יִגְזְל֥וּ מֵֽימֵי־שֶׁ֗לֶג שְׁאֹ֣ול חָטָֽאוּ׃ |
| [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. |
[20]יִשְׁכָּ֘חֵ֤הוּ רֶ֨חֶם ׀ מְתָ֘קֹ֤ו רִמָּ֗ה עֹ֥וד לֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֑ר וַתִּשָּׁבֵ֖ר כָּעֵ֣ץ עַוְלָֽה׃ |
| [21]He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. |
[21]רֹעֶ֣ה עֲ֭קָרָה לֹ֣א תֵלֵ֑ד וְ֝אַלְמָנָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְיֵטִֽיב׃ |
| [22]He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. |
[22]וּמָשַׁ֣ךְ אַבִּירִ֣ים בְּכֹחֹ֑ו יָ֝ק֗וּם וְֽלֹא־יַאֲמִ֥ין בַּֽחַיִּֽין׃ |
| [23]Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. |
[23]יִתֶּן־לֹ֣ו לָ֭בֶטַח וְיִשָּׁעֵ֑ן וְ֝עֵינֵ֗יהוּ עַל־דַּרְכֵיהֶֽם׃ |
| [24]They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. |
[24]רֹ֤ומּוּ מְּעַ֨ט ׀ וְֽאֵינֶ֗נּוּ וְֽהֻמְּכ֗וּ כַּכֹּ֥ל יִקָּפְצ֑וּן וּכְרֹ֖אשׁ שִׁבֹּ֣לֶת יִמָּֽלוּ׃ |
| [25]And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? |
[25]וְאִם־לֹ֣א אֵ֭פֹו מִ֣י יַכְזִיבֵ֑נִי וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְ֝אַ֗ל מִלָּתִֽי׃ |
