For they ate the bread of injustice, and they will drink the wine of violences:

The way of the unjust as darkness: they shall not know in what they shall stumble.

They shall not turn aside from thine eyes; watch them in the midst of thy heart

For they are life to those finding them, and healing to all their flesh.

They shall be to thee alone, and not strangers with thee.

They will not despise a thief if he shall steal to fill up his soul; for he will be hungry.

I loved those loving me: and they seeking me shall find me.

The unjust are overthrown, and they are not: and the house of the just shall stand.

Lips of falsehood an abomination of Jehovah: and they doing faithfulness his delight

Shall they not go astray, seeking evil? and mercy, and truth to those seeking good.

He justifying the unjust one and he condemning the just one, is an abomination to Jehovah, also they two.

The words of the tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

Death and life in the hand of the tongue: and they loving it shall eat its fruit

All the brethren of the poor hated him: how much more his friends removed far from him? pursuing words they are not

A stone and stone, an ephah and ephah, an abomination of Jehovah, also they two.

The violence of the unjust shall sweep them away, for they refuse to do judgment

For pleasant things if thou shalt watch them in thy belly; they shall be prepared together for thy lips.

They struck me, I was not pained; they beat me, I knew not: when shall I awake? I will add, I will yet seek it.

The words of a tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

A stone is heavy and sand a burden, and the wrath of the foolish one heavy more than they two.

They forsaking the law will praise the unjust: and they watching the law, shall contend with them.

Men of evil shall not understand judgment: and they seeking Jehovah shall understand all.

They three were wonderful above me; and four, I knew them not:

They four the small of the earth, and they are wise, being made wise:

The ants a people not strong, and they will prepare their bread in the summer;

The rabbits a people not strong, and they will set their house in the rock;

They three making good the step, and four, making good to go:

Her sons rose up and they will call her happy; her husband, and he will praise her.

All the torrents going into the sea, and the sea not full: to the place the torrents going, there they turn back to go.

I saw all the works they did under the sun; and behold, all vanity and striving of the spirit

I examined in my heart to draw my flesh with wine, and my heart led in wisdom; and to lay hold upon folly till that I shall see what this good to the sons of man which they will do under the heavens the number of the days of their life.

And I turned to see wisdom, madness, and folly: for what the man that shall come after the king? with those things they did already.

I knew that all which God will do it shall be forever: to it not to be added, and from it not to be taken away: and God doing they shall be afraid from his face.

I said in my heart concerning the speeches of the sons of man, for God to separate them, and for them to see that they are cattle to themselves.

And I praise the dead already dead more than the living they yet living.

For if they shall fall, the one will raise up his companion: and wo to him, the one that shall fall, and not a second to raise him up.

Watch thy feet when thou shalt go to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than give the sacrifice of the foolish, for they not knowing the doing of evil.

In the multitude of good they were multiplied eating it: and what the success to its possessors but seeing with his eyes?

Only see, this I found, that God made man upright; and they sought out many purposes.

And so then I saw the unjust buried, and they came and they will go from the holy place, and they will be forgotten in the city where they did thus: also this is vanity.

For the living know they shall die: and the dead know not any thing, and no more to them a reward; for their remembrance was forgotten.

For also man knew not his time: as the fishes being laid hold of in an evil net, and as the birds laid hold of in the snare, as they, the sons of men being snared for an evil time, as it will fall upon them suddenly.

For laughter they make bread, and wine will gladden the living: and silver will answer with all.

If the clouds shall be filled with rain, they shall pour out upon the earth: and if the tree shall fall in the south or in the north, the place the tree shall fall, there it shall be.

In the morning sow thy seed, and at evening thou shalt not let thy hand rest: for thou shalt not know whether this shall be right, this or that, or if they two as one being good.

If man shall live many years, in them all shall he rejoice; and he shall remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. All coming is vanity.

In the day those watching the house shall tremble, and the strong men bent themselves, and the grinders ceased for they were few, and they looking through the lattice were darkened,

Also from height they shall be afraid, and being dismayed in the way, and the almond tree shall be despised, and the locust shall become a burden, and the caperberry shall fail: for man shall go to his eternal house, and they mourning, went about in the street:

The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails planted of the masters of the gatherings; they were given from one shepherd.

Thou shalt not see me, I am black; the sun searched me: my mother's sons were angry with me; they set me to watch the vineyards; my vineyard I watched not for me.

The fig tree ripened its unripe figs, and the vines are in blossom; they gave an odor. Rise up, my friend, my beautiful one, and go for thyself.

They watching going about in the city, found me: Saw ye him that my soul loved?

They watching going round about in the city, found me; they struck me, they wounded me: they watching the wall took away my veil from me.

Turn away thine eyes from before me; they enlarged me: thy hair as a herd of goats which lay down from Gilead.

They are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens no number.

She is one, my dove, my perfect one; she is one to her mother, she is the chosen to her bearing her. The daughters saw her and pronounced her happy; the queens and the concubines, and they will praise her.

Who will give thee as a brother to me, sucking the breasts of my mother? I shall find thee without, I shall kiss thee; also they shall not despise me.

Many waters shall not be able to quench love, and rivers shall not overwhelm it: if a man shall give all the riches of his house for love, despising, they shall be despised for him.

Hear, ye heavens, and give ear thou earth, for Jehovah spake: for I caused to grow and lifted up sons, and they rebelled against me.

Wo! sinful nation, a people heavy with sin, a seed doing evil, sons acting wickedly; they forsook Jehovah; they despised the holy one of Israel; they separated themselves backward.

From the sole of the foot and even to the head, no wholeness in it; a wound and bruise, and a fresh blow: they were not pressed out, and they were not bound up, and they were not softened with oil.

Your new moons and your appointments my soul hated; they were for a burden upon me; I was wearied to lift up.

Come now we will confute together Jehovah will say: if your sins shall be as deep scarlet, they shall be white as snow; if they shall be red as crimson, they shall be as wool.

How was the faithful city for a harlot! I filled with judgment; justice will lodge in her; and now they are killing

Thy chiefs turning away, and associates of thieves: every one loving a gift and following recompenses: the orphan they will not judge, and the cause of the widow will not come to them.

Breaking the transgressing and the sinning together, and they forsaking Jehovah shall be finished.

For they shall be ashamed of their mighty ones which ye desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens which ye chose.

And the strong was for tow, and his work for a spark, and they two were burnt together, and none quenching.

And he judged between the nations, and he will decide for many peoples: and they shall beat down their swords to plough-shares and their spears to pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall no more learn war.

For thou didst cast out thy people the house of Jacob, for they were filled from the east, and practicing magic as the rovers, and they will strike hands with the children of strangers.

And their land will be full of nothings; they will worship to the work of their hand, to what their fingers made:

And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the caverns of the dust, from the face of the fear of Jehovah, and from the splendor of his majesty in his rising to terrify the earth.

In that day man shall cast the nothings of his silver and the nothings of his gold which they made for him to worship, to the digging of moles and to bats.

The withdrawing of their face answered against them; and they announced their sins as Sodom, and they covered not. Wo to their soul! for they rewarded evil to themselves.

Say to the just, that it is good that they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

My people, their tyrants from children, and women ruled over them. My people, they calling thee happy, causing to err; they destroyed the way of thy paths.

And Jehovah will say, Because the daughters of Zion were lifted up, and they will go extending the neck and ogling their eyes, going and tripping their going, and binding back their feet:

Wo to those touching house upon house, they will bring near field upon field, till no more place, and ye dwelt yourselves alone in the midst of the earth.

Wo to those rising early in the morning, they will follow strong drink; remaining in the evening, wine will inflame them.

And there was the harp and the lyre, the drum and the pipe, and the wine of their drinking's: but the work of Jehovah they will not look at, and the work of his hands they saw not

Justifying the unjust on account of a gift, and they will take away the justice of the just from him.

For this as the tongue of fire consumes the straw, and the dry grass of flame will collapse: their root shall be as rottenness, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of Jehovah of armies, and the saying of the Holy One of Israel they despised.

And he lifted up a signal to the nations from far off, and he hissed to them from the extremity of the earth; and behold, they shall come swift from haste.

The roaring to him as the lion, and he roared as the young lions: and they shall groan and shall lay hold of the prey, and it shall escape, and none delivering.

And they shall groan against them in that day as the groaning of the sea: and they looked to the land and, behold, straitened darkness, and the light darkened in its clouds.

Make the heart of this people fat and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes, lest they shall see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and their heart shall understand and turn back and be healed to them.

And they shall come and rest all of them in the valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and in all the thorn hedges, and in all pastures.

And it was from the abundance of making milk he shall eat curdled milk; for curdled milk and honey shall eat all they being left in the midst of the land.

And when they shall say to you, Seek ye to necromancers and to wizards peeping and panting: shall not a people seek their God among the living for the dead?

To the law and to the testimony if they will not speak according to this word, because no morning is in them.

And passing through it, harshly oppressed and hungry; and it was when he shall be hungry, and they brake forth and cursed against their king and their God, and looked upwards.

And they shall look to the earth, and behold, straits and darkness and fainting of distress; and to darkness being removed.

The people going in darkness saw a great light: they dwelling in the land of the shadow of death, light shone upon them.

Thou didst multiply the nation, thou didst not increase the joy: they rejoiced before thee according to the joy in harvest as they will exalt in their dividing the spoil.

And the people shall know, all they of Ephraim and the inhabitants of Shomeron, in pride and in greatness of heart, saying,

Aram from the east, and the rovers from behind; and they will eat up Israel with all the mouth. In all this his anger was not turned back, and yet his hand stretched out

And the people turned not back even to him smiting them, and Jehovah of armies they sought not

The old man and they lifting up faces, he the head; and the prophet teaching falsehood, be the tail.

For this upon their young men Jehovah shall not rejoice, and their orphans and their widows he will not compassionate; for they all are polluted and doing evil, and every mouth speaking folly. In all this his anger turned not back, and yet his hand stretched out

For wickedness burnt as fire; the sharp point and the thorn it shall consume, and shall burn in the thickets of the forest, and they shall roll up in the mounting up of smoke.
