“The wicked man writhes with pain all his days,
And numbered are the years stored up for him, the ruthless one.

“Others snatch the fatherless [infants] from the breast [to sell or make them slaves],
And against the poor they take a pledge [of clothing].

That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And keep him from pride;

Then He declares to them [the true character of] their deeds
And their transgressions, that they have acted arrogantly [with presumption and notions of self-sufficiency].
