So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.

Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.

See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.

If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off!

So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.

So have you now become to me; you see my sad condition and are in fear.

Or, Get me out of the power of my hater? or, Give money so that I may be free from the power of the cruel ones?

So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.

A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again.

So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.

So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains.

How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?

If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?

So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:

Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?

Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking:

It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.

Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.

Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,

And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.
