STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 מַדּוּעַ מִשַּׁדַּי לֹא־נִצְפְּנוּ עִתִּים [וְיֹדְעֹו כ] (וְיֹדְעָיו ק) לֹא־חָזוּ יָמָיו	1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2 גְּבֻלֹות יַשִּׂיגוּ עֵדֶר גָּזְלוּ וַיִּרְעוּ	2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3 חֲמֹור יְתֹומִים יִנְהָגוּ יַחְבְּלוּ שֹׁור אַלְמָנָה	3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 יַטּוּ אֶבְיֹונִים מִדָּרֶךְ יַחַד חֻבְּאוּ עֲנִיֵּי־אָרֶץ	4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 הֵן פְּרָאִים ׀ בַּמִּדְבָּר יָצְאוּ בְּפָעֳלָם מְשַׁחֲרֵי לַטָּרֶף עֲרָבָה לֹו לֶחֶם לַנְּעָרִים	5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 בַּשָּׂדֶה בְּלִילֹו [יַקְצִירוּ כ] (יִקְצֹורוּ ק) וְכֶרֶם רָשָׁע יְלַקֵּשׁוּ	6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 עָרֹום יָלִינוּ מִבְּלִי לְבוּשׁ וְאֵין כְּסוּת בַּקָּרָה	7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8 מִזֶּרֶם הָרִים יִרְטָבוּ וּמִבְּלִי מַחְסֶה חִבְּקוּ־צוּר	8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 יִגְזְלוּ מִשֹּׁד יָתֹום וְעַל־עָנִי יַחְבֹּלוּ	9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 עָרֹום הִלְּכוּ בְּלִי לְבוּשׁ וּרְעֵבִים נָשְׂאוּ עֹמֶר	10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 בֵּין־שׁוּרֹתָם יַצְהִירוּ יְקָבִים דָּרְכוּ וַיִּצְמָאוּ	11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 מֵעִיר מְתִים ׀ יִנְאָקוּ וְנֶפֶשׁ־חֲלָלִים תְּשַׁוֵּעַ וֶאֱלֹוהַּ לֹא־יָשִׂים תִּפְלָה	12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13 הֵמָּה ׀ הָיוּ בְּמֹרְדֵי־אֹור לֹא־הִכִּירוּ דְרָכָיו וְלֹא יָשְׁבוּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָיו	13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 לָאֹור יָקוּם רֹוצֵחַ יִקְטָל־עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון וּבַלַּיְלָה יְהִי כַגַּנָּב	14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15 וְעֵין נֹאֵף ׀ שָׁמְרָה נֶשֶׁף לֵאמֹר לֹא־תְשׁוּרֵנִי עָיִן וְסֵתֶר פָּנִים יָשִׂים	15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16 חָתַר בַּחֹשֶׁךְ בָּתִּים יֹומָם חִתְּמוּ־לָמֹו לֹא־יָדְעוּ אֹור	16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17 כִּי יַחְדָּו ׀ בֹּקֶר לָמֹו צַלְמָוֶת כִּי־יַכִּיר בַּלְהֹות צַלְמָוֶת	17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 קַל־הוּא ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי־מַיִם תְּקֻלַּל חֶלְקָתָם בָּאָרֶץ לֹא־יִפְנֶה דֶּרֶךְ כְּרָמִים	18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19 צִיָּה גַם־חֹם יִגְזְלוּ מֵימֵי־שֶׁלֶג שְׁאֹול חָטָאוּ	19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20 יִשְׁכָּחֵהוּ רֶחֶם ׀ מְתָקֹו רִמָּה עֹוד לֹא־יִזָּכֵר וַתִּשָּׁבֵר כָּעֵץ עַוְלָה	20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21 רֹעֶה עֲקָרָה לֹא תֵלֵד וְאַלְמָנָה לֹא יְיֵטִיב	21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22 וּמָשַׁךְ אַבִּירִים בְּכֹחֹו יָקוּם וְלֹא־יַאֲמִין בַּחַיִּין	22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23 יִתֶּן־לֹו לָבֶטַח וְיִשָּׁעֵן וְעֵינֵיהוּ עַל־דַּרְכֵיהֶם	23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24 רֹומּוּ מְּעַט ׀ וְאֵינֶנּוּ וְהֻמְּכוּ כַּכֹּל יִקָּפְצוּן וּכְרֹאשׁ שִׁבֹּלֶת יִמָּלוּ	24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 וְאִם־לֹא אֵפֹו מִי יַכְזִיבֵנִי וְיָשֵׂם לְאַל מִלָּתִי׃ ס	25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
