6He will not give life to the ungodly, But He will give judgment to the poor.

7He will not turn away from the righteous, But will seat them on the throne with kings; For He will lift them in triumph, and they will be exalted.

8But if they are bound in fetters, They shall be held in the cords of poverty.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

9He will tell them their works and their transgressions, For such will act with violence.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

10He also will hear the righteous, And He said they will turn from wrongdoing.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

11If they give ear and serve Him, They shall spend their days in good things And their years in dignity.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

12But He does not save the ungodly, Because they are not willing to know the Lord, And because they refused to listen when they were admonished.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

13'For the hypocrites in heart will marshal anger against themselves, And they will not cry for help, because He has bound them.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

14Therefore, may their soul die in youth, And their life be wounded by messengers of death,

Greek verse alignment unresolved

15Because they afflicted the weak and helpless; And He will make manifest the judgment of the gentle.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

16'Besides, He deceived you by the mouth of the enemy.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

17There is an abyss and a pouring over beneath it, And your table descended full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous,

Greek verse alignment unresolved

18But there shall be anger against the ungodly Because of the ungodliness of the gifts they received for wrongdoings.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

19Let not your heart willingly turn you aside From the petition of the weak who are in distress.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

20Do not lure away all the mighty men at night So the people should go up instead of them.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

21'But guard yourself, lest you do what is wrong, For you chose this because of poverty.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

22Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by His strength. Who is so powerful as He?

Greek verse alignment unresolved

23Who is he who examines His works? Or who can say, 'He has done unjustly'?

Greek verse alignment unresolved

24'Remember, His works are great, Because of which men began to exist.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

25Every one has seen for himself How many mortals are wounded.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

26'Behold, the Mighty One is great, And we do not know Him. The number of His years is also endless.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

27For He numbers the drops of rain, And they shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

28The ancient clouds shall drop down And overshadow innumerable mortals. He has fixed a time for cattle, And they know the appointed time for their rest. Yet your mind is not astonished by these things, Nor does your heart leap out from your body.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

29For one should perceive the outspreadings of a cloud And the measure of His tabernacle.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

30Behold, He stretches His bow against him And covers the bottom of the sea.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

31For by these He will judge the peoples. He will give food to him who has strength.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

32He has hidden light in His hands And given orders to the cloud by which it is diverted.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

33The Lord will proclaim it to His friend, But there is also a portion for unrighteousness.
