1Why do the evil not hide themselves from the presence of God, and they are famous and they have not seen their days? 2And the border they have removed and the flock they have taken 3And male donkeys of orphans they have taken and they pawn the ox of a widow 4The evil have hidden themselves by the road, and the meek of the Earth hide themselves together 5As wild donkeys in the wilderness that rise early for food, for bread for their young 6And in the field hay that is not theirs they will reap, and the vineyard of the wicked they will gather 7Spending the night naked for lack of clothing and without a cloak in the cold 8From the downpour of the mountains they will be wet and from lack of refuge, they will embrace stones 9They seize some pillage of orphans, and on the poor they set desolations 10Naked they walked for lack of clothing and the hungry picked up bread 11And in the house of banquets they stoop and are hungry while carrying a basket and a measure, and in time they will hunger in their feasts; treading they will tread and be thirsty 12From within the city the dying will groan, and the soul of the slain will cry out, and God will not receive their prayer 13Those have been in lofty dwellings of light and they did not know his ways, and they did not walk in his steps 14In the light stands a killer and he kills the poor and the afflicted and is as a thief by night 15And eyes of adulterers watch for darkness and they say: “Eyes will not see”, and he conceals his face in darkness 16He breaks into houses in darkness and by day marks them so that they will not see the light 17Therefore they sought for themselves the shadow of death, and they found it, and the shadows of death terrified them 18Quickly and upon the face of the waters will be carried away their portion in the earth, in the road of the vine dressers 19Drought and heat will seize the waters of the snow, into Sheol they have sinned 20And they were forgotten from the womb; the worm sucked them and the dead will not be remembered again, and the evil one will be broken like wood 21The barren evil woman shall not bear; they have not done good to the widow 22And the property of a mighty one shall stand by his power, and he will not believe in a vision 23And he will dwell in quietness and his eyes will be confident also on their ways 24They will be lifted up a little and they are not, and they will be humbled and all the provokers will be destroyed, and like the head of blades of wheat they dry out and will be crumbled 25And if it was not his anger, he will convict me of lying, and my word shall be considered before God” The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
