| וְהָיָה־אִישׁ כְּמַחֲבֵא־רוּחַ וְסֵתֶר זָרֶם כְּפַלְגֵי־מַיִם בְּצָיוֹן כְּצֵל סֶלַע־כָּבֵד בְּאֶרֶץ עֲיֵפָה ׃ | 2. |
|
|||
2. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. |
2. And a man shall become as a shelter from the wind or refuge from the storm, like brooks of water in a desert place, or the shade of a large rock in arid country. |

| וְלֹא תִשְׁעֶינָה עֵינֵי רֹאִים וְאָזְנֵי שֹׁמְעִים תִּקְשַׁבְנָה ׃ | 3. |
|
|||
| 3. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. |
3. The eyes of those who see shall not be shut, and the ears of those who hear shall listen. |

| וּלְבַב נִמְהָרִים יָבִין לָדָעַת וּלְשׁוֹן עִלְּגִים תְּמַהֵר לְדַבֵּר צָחוֹת ׃ | 4. |
|
|||
4. The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. |
4. The minds of the rash shall learn understanding, and the tongues of the stammerers master eloquence. |

| לֹא־יִקָּרֵא עוֹד לְנָבָל נָדִיב וּלְכִילַי לֹא יֵאָמֵר שׁוֹעַ ׃ | 5. |
|
|||
5. The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. |
|
5. The godless shall no longer be regarded as noble nor rogues considered respectable. |

| כִּי נָבָל נְבָלָה יְדַבֵּר וְלִבּוֹ יַעֲשֶׂה־אָוֶן לַעֲשׂוֹת חֹנֶף וּלְדַבֵּר אֶל־יְהוָה תּוֹעָה לְהָרִיק נֶפֶשׁ רָעֵב וּמַשְׁקֶה צָמֵא יַחְסִיר ׃ | 6. |
|
|||
6. For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. |
6. For the godless utter blasphemy; their heart ponders impiety: how to practice hypocrisy and preach perverse things concerning the Lord, leaving the hungry soul empty, depriving the thirsty soul of drink. |

|
|||
7. The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. |
7. And rogues scheme by malevolent means and insidious devices to ruin the poor, and with false slogans and accusations to denounce the needy. |

13. Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city: |

14. Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; |
14. for the palaces shall lie abandoned, the clamorous towns deserted. High rises and panoramic resorts shall become haunts for ever after, the playground of wild animals, a browsing place for flocks. |
