All the day, he greatly craveth, whereas, the righteous, giveth, and doth not spare.

All costly substance, shall we find, We shall fill our houses with spoil;

Such are the ways of every one that graspeth with greed, The life of the owners thereof, it taketh away!

My Lord Yahweh, hath given unto me the tongue of the instructed, That I should know how to succour the fainting, with discourse, - He kept wakening - morning by morning.

My Lord, Yahweh, will help me, Who is he that shall prove me lawless? Lo! they all, as a garment, shall fall to pieces, the moth shall consume them. Who among you, revereth Yahweh, Hearkening unto the voice of his Servant, - That hath walked in dark places And hath had no gleam of light? Let him trust in the name of Yahweh, And lean upon his God.
