For they can’t sleepunless they have done what is evil;they are robbed of sleepunless they make someone stumble.

Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to othersand your years to someone cruel;

They are well-fed, eager stallions,each neighing after someone else’s wife.

A close relative and burner will remove his corpse from the house. He will call to someone in the inner recesses of the house, “Any more with you?”That person will reply, “None.”Then he will say, “Silence, because Yahweh’s name must not be invoked.”

Do horses gallop on the cliffs;does anyone plow there with oxen?Yet you have turned justice into poisonand the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
