Then looked he on the distress which befell them, - when he heard their loud cry;

When he is judged, let him go out condemned, and let, his own petition, become a sin;

As a shadow when it stretcheth out, I am gone, I am shaken off like the locust;

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.

Yahweh, preserveth the simple, I was brought low, when, to me, he granted salvation.

Then, shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will thank thee with uprightness of heart, when I have learned thy righteous regulations.

Mine eyes have failed for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

How few are the days of thy servant! When wilt thou execute sentence on my persecutors?

My lips, shall pour out, praise, When thou shalt teach me thy statutes.

I was glad, when they were saying unto me, Unto the house of Yahweh, let us go!

When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who dream:

By the rivers of Babylon, there, we sat down, yea we wept - when we remembered Zion:

All the kings of the earth, will thank thee, O Yahweh, when they have heard the sayings of thy mouth;

My substance was not hid from thee, - when I was made in secret, when I was skilfully figured in the lower parts of the earth.

O Yahweh, I have cried unto thee, Make thou haste to me, Give ear unto my voice, when I cry to thee.

As when one plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades!

When my spirit fainted concerning myself, then, thou, didst take note of my path, - In the course which I was about to take, they had hidden a snare for me.

Giving, to the beast, its food, to the young ravens, when they cry.

I also, at your calamity, will laugh, I will mock, when cometh your dread;

When cometh as a crashing your dread, and, your calamity, as a storm-wind, overtaketh, when there come upon you, distress and anguish.

When wisdom entereth thy heart, and, knowledge, to thy soul, is sweet,

When thou sittest down, thou shalt have no dread, yea thou shalt lie down, and sweet shall be thy sleep.

Be not thou afraid of sudden dread, nor of the desolation of the lawless, when it cometh.

Withhold not good from them who ask it, when it is in power of thy hand to do it:

Do not say to thy neighbour, Go and come again, and to-morrow I will give, when thou hast it by thee.

Exalt her, and she will set thee on high, she will bring thee to honour, when thou dust embrace her:

When thou walkest, thy step shall not be hemmed in, and, if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

Do this then, my son, and deliver thyself, When thou hast come into the hand of thy neighbour, Go, haste thee, and urge thy neighbour;

When thou walkest abroad, it shall guide thee, when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee, when thou wakest, it shall speak to thee:

Men despise not a thief, when he stealeth, to satisfy his appetite, because he is famished;

When there was no resounding deep, I had been brought forth, when there were no fountains, abounding with water;

When he prepared the heavens, there, was I! When he decreed a vault upon the face of the resounding deep;

When he made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the resounding deep, waxed strong;

When he fixed for the sea its bound, that, the waters, should not go beyond his bidding, when he decreed the foundations of the earth: -

When pride cometh, then cometh contempt, but, with the modest, is wisdom.

When the lawless man dieth, his expectation, perisheth, and, the hope of strong men, hath vanished.

When it is, well with the righteous, the city, exulteth, When the lawless perish, there is a shout of triumph.

When the upright are blessed, exalted is the city, but, by the mouth of the lawless, it is overthrown.

When anxiety is in the heart of a man, one may bow him down, but, a good word, maketh him glad.

Indolence, roasteth not, his own game, but, the substance of a man, is precious, when he is diligent.

Get thee from the presence of a man that is a dullard, when thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge.

When, acceptable to Yahweh, are the ways of a man, even his enemies, doth he cause to make peace with him.

When the lawless man cometh in, then cometh also contempt, and, with shame, reproach.

A wise king, winnoweth out the lawless, when he hath turned over them the wheel.

When the scoffer is punished, the simple, becometh wise, when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

The sacrifice of the lawless, is an abomination, how much more, when, with wickedness, he bringeth it in!

Train up a youth, in the direction of his duty, even when he becometh old, he will not depart from it.

For sweet shall they be, when thou shalt keep them in thine inmost mind, they shall fit well together, upon thy lips.

When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, thou shall consider well, what is before thee;

Wilt thou let thine eye fly thereupon, when it is nothing? for it will, surely make, itself wings, Like an eagle, will it wing its way across the heavens.

Do not withhold, from a child, correction, When thou smitest him with the rod, he shall not die:

So shall my reins exult, when thy lips speak the things that are right.

Hearken to thy father here, who begat thee, and despise not, when she is old, thy mother.

Do not look on wine when it becometh red, when it giveth in the cup its sparkle, glideth down smoothly.

They smote me - I felt no pain, They struck me down - I noticed it not, - When shall I wake up? I will go on, I will seek it, again!

When thine enemy falleth, do not thou rejoice, and, when he stumbleth, let not thy heart exult:

Do not go forth to strive in haste, - lest thou know not what to do in the latter end thereof, when thy neighbour, hath put thee to shame.

As the cold of snow in the day of harvest, is a faithful messenger to them who send him, - when, the life of his masters, he restoreth.

Clouds and wind, when rain there is none, is the man who boasteth himself of a pretended gift.

Take a man's garment when he hath become pledge for stranger, then, for a female unknown, accept him as surety.

The lawless, fleeth when no man pursueth, but, the righteous, like a lion, are confident.

In the exulting of the righteous, there is great glorying, but, when the lawless arise, a man must be sought for.

A man, hasting to be rich, hath an evil eye, and knoweth not when want may overtake him.

When lawless men rise, a common man will hide himself, but, when they perish, righteous men multiply.

When the righteous become great, the people rejoice, but, when a lawless man beareth rule, a people sigh.

When a ruler giveth heed to the word of falsehood, all his attendants, become lawless.

When a king judgeth faithfully the poor, his throne, to futurity, shall be established.

When the lawless become great, transgression increaseth, but, the righteous, shall behold, their ruin.

Who hath ascended the heavens and then descended? Who hath gathered the wind into his two hands? Who hath wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who hath set up all the ends of the earth? What is his name and what the name of his son, when thou knowest?

Under a servant, when he reigneth, and a base man, when he is surfeited with food;

Under a hateful woman, when she is married, and a handmaid when she driveth out her mistress.

Known in the gates, is her husband, when he sitteth, with the elders of the land:

When, I, looked upon all my works, which my hands had made, and on my toil, whereon I had toilsomely wrought, then lo! all, was vanity, and feeding on wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

For, if the one should fall, the other would raise up his companion, - but alas! for him who is alone when he falleth, with no second to raise him up!

Keep thy foot, when thou goest unto the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than dullards to offer sacrifice, - for they make no acknowledgment of doing wrong.

When thou vowest a vow unto God, do not defer to pay it, for there is no pleasure in dullards, - what thou vowest, pay!

When blessings are increased, increased are the eaters thereof, - what profit, then, to the owner of them saving the sight of his eyes?

For, to every pursuit, there is a time and a manner, - when, the vexation of man, is great concerning it.

For there is no one who knoweth what shall be, for, when it shall be, who will tell him?

And, thereupon, I considered the lawless when buried, when they had entered, their graves , that, from the place of the Holy One, they used to go and boast in the city that they had so done, - even this, was vanity.

When I gave my heart, to know wisdom, and to consider the business that was done upon the earth, then surely, by day and by night, there was one who suffered not his eyes, to sleep.

Go thy way - eat, with gladness, thy food, and drink, with a happy heart, thy wine, - when already God is well pleased with thy works.

For, indeed, man could not know his own time, like fishes which were caught in a cruel net, and like little birds which were caught in a trap, - like them, were ensnared the sons of men, by a time of misfortune, when it fell upon them suddenly.

Alas! for thee, O land, when thy king is a boy, - and, thy rulers, in the morning, do eat:

How happy art thou, O land, when thy king is a son of nobles, - and, thy rulers, in season, do eat, for strength, and not for debauchery.

Just as thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, when the body is in the womb of her that is with child, even, so, canst thou not know the work of God, who maketh all.

In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the men of might bow themselves, - and the grinders cease because they are few, and they who look through the windows are darkened;

And the doors in the street be closed, when the sound of the mill become low, - and one rise at the chirp of a small bird, and low-voiced be all the daughters of song;

Yea, at what is high, they be in fear, and there be, terrors, in the way, and the almond be rejected, and the grasshopper drag itself along, and desire perish, - for man is going to his age-abiding home, when the wailers shall go round in the streets;

Scarcely had I passed from them, when I found the beloved of my soul, - I caught him, and would not let him go, until that I had brought him into the house of my mother, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

I myself, opened to my beloved, but, my beloved, had turned away, had passed on, - My soul, had gone out when he spake, I sought him, but found him not, I called him, but he answered not.

THEYA sister, have we, a little one, and, breasts, hath she none, What shall we do for our sister, in the day when she may be spoken for?

When ye enter to see my face, Who hath required this at your hand trampling my courts?

Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply prayers, I am not hearkening, - Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled.

And they shall enter into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of clay, - Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

That he may enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the crags, - Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

When a man shall lay hold, on his brother of the house of his father, saying - Clothing, hast thou, Become thou our, ruler, This downfall, be under thy hand,

He will swear, in that day, saying - I will take no control, When in mine own house, is neither food nor clothing, - Ye must not set me for a ruler of people!
