Look, let that night become barren; let a joyful song not enter it.

He strips [away] the insight of the heads of the earth's people, and he makes them wander in {a pathless wasteland}.

"Though wickedness tastes sweet in his mouth, [and] he hides it under his tongue,

for he himself looks to [the] end of the earth; he sees under all the heaven.

They bray among [the] bushes; they are gathered under [the] nettles.

Who prepares for the crow its prey, when its young ones cry to God for help, [and] they wander around {for lack of food}?

Under [the] lotus tree it lies, in [the] hiding place of [the] reeds and [in the] marsh.

Who has come to confront me, that I should repay [him]? Under all the heavens, {it belongs to me}.
