And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it.

God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers.

And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I expire, and the eye doth not see me.

As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am brought,

At peace are the tents of spoilers, And those provoking God have confidence, He into whose hand God hath brought.

For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out words from thy mouth:

He is wandering for bread -- 'Where is it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.

That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.

And he -- to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a watch is kept.

Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread.

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.

By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.

If his sons multiply -- for them is a sword. And his offspring are not satisfied with bread.

The earth! from it cometh forth bread, And its under-part is turned like fire.

Nor trodden it have the sons of pride, Not passed over it hath the fierce lion.

When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.

And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword.

On the right hand doth a brood arise, My feet they have cast away, And they raise up against me, Their paths of calamity.

To turn aside man from doing, And pride from man He concealeth.

And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.

There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.

And also He moved thee from a strait place, To a broad place -- no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.

From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,

And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it is in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.

And say, 'Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.'

Thou hast understanding, Even unto the broad places of earth! Declare -- if thou hast known it all.

Who hath put in the inward parts wisdom? Or who hath given To the covered part understanding?

And his brood gulp up blood, And where the pierced are -- there is he!

Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low.

See every proud one -- humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.

Dost thou play with him as a bird? And dost thou bind him for thy damsels?

Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it is mine.

A pride -- strong ones of shields, Shut up -- a close seal.

Every high thing he doth see, He is king over all sons of pride.

And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.
