“In the days ^H3117 of Shamgar ^H8044 the son ^H1121 of Anath ^H6067,

In the days ^H3117 of Jael ^H3278, the roads ^H734 [fn]were ^H2308 deserted ^H2308,

And travelers ^H1980 H5410 went ^H1980 by [fn]roundabout ^H6128 ways ^H734.

“Those who were full ^H7649 hire ^H7936 themselves out ^H7936 for bread ^H3899,

Even ^H5704 the infertile ^H6135 woman ^H6135 gives ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to seven ^H7651,

But she who has many ^H7227 children ^H1121 languishes ^H535.

When he came ^H935 to the king ^H4428, the king ^H4428 said ^H559 to him, “Micaiah ^H4321, should we go ^H1980 to battle ^H4421 against ^H413 Ramoth-gilead ^H7433, or ^H518 should we refrain ^H2308?” And he said ^H559, “Go ^H5927 up ^H5927 and succeed ^H6743, for the LORD ^H3068 will hand ^H5414 H3027 it over ^H5414 to the king ^H4428!”

When he came ^H935 to the king ^H4428, the king ^H4428 said ^H559 to him, “Micaiah ^H4318, should we go ^H1980 to battle ^H4421 against ^H413 Ramoth-gilead ^H7433, or ^H518 should I refrain ^H2308?” He said ^H559, “Go ^H5927 up ^H5927 and succeed ^H6743, for they will be handed ^H5414 H3027 over ^H5414 to you!”

“There ^H8033 the wicked ^H7563 cease ^H2308 from raging ^H7267,

And there ^H8033 the [fn]weary ^H3019 are ^H5117 at ^H5117 rest ^H5117.

“I [fn]waste ^H3988 away ^H3988; I will not live ^H2421 forever ^H5769.

Leave ^H2308 me alone ^H4480, for my days ^H3117 are only a breath ^H1892.

“Would He not leave ^H2308 my few ^H4592 days ^H3117 alone ^H2308?

[fn]Withdraw ^H7896 from me so that I may have ^H1082 a little ^H4592 cheerfulness ^H1082

“Look ^H8159 away ^H8159 from him so that he may [fn]rest ^H2308,

Until ^H5704 he [fn]fulfills ^H7521 his day ^H3117 like a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916.

“If ^H518 I speak ^H1696, my pain ^H3511 is not lessened ^H2820,

And if I refrain ^H2308, what ^H4100 pain leaves ^H1980 me?

“My relatives ^H7138 have failed ^H2308,

And my close ^H3045 friends ^H3045 have forgotten ^H7911 me.

The words ^H1697 of his mouth ^H6310 are wickedness ^H205 and deceit ^H4820;

He has ceased ^H2308 to [fn]be ^H7919 wise ^H7919 and to do ^H3190 good ^H3190.

For the redemption ^H6306 of [fn]his soul ^H5315 is ^H3365 priceless ^H3365,

And he should cease ^H2308 imagining forever ^H5769—

When there are many ^H7230 words ^H1697, wrongdoing ^H6588 is unavoidable ^H2308 H3808,

But one who restrains ^H2820 his lips ^H8193 is wise ^H7919.

Stop ^H2308 listening ^H8085, my son ^H1121, to discipline ^H4148,

And you will stray ^H7686 from the words ^H561 of knowledge ^H1847.

Do not weary ^H3021 yourself to gain ^H6238 wealth ^H6238;

[fn]Stop ^H2308 dwelling ^H998 on it.

“Wash ^H7364 yourselves, make ^H2135 yourselves clean ^H2135;

Remove ^H5493 the evil ^H7455 of your deeds ^H4611 from My sight ^H5048 H5869.

Stop ^H2308 doing ^H7489 evil ^H7489,

[fn]Take ^H2308 no ^H2308 account ^H2308 of man ^H120, whose ^H834 breath ^H5397 of life is in his nostrils ^H639;

For [fn]why ^H4100 should he be esteemed ^H2803?

The joy ^H4885 of tambourines ^H8596 ceases ^H7673,

The noise ^H7588 of revelers ^H5947 stops ^H2308,

The joy ^H4885 of the harp ^H3658 ceases ^H7673.

The warriors ^H1368 of Babylon ^H894 have ceased ^H2308 fighting ^H3898,

They stay ^H3427 in the strongholds ^H4679;

Their strength ^H1369 is [fn]exhausted ^H5405,

They are becoming ^H1961 like women ^H802;

Their homes ^H4908 are set ^H3341 on ^H3341 fire ^H3341,

The bars ^H1280 of her gates are broken ^H7665.
