“From Aram ^H6307 Balak ^H1111 has brought ^H5148 me,

Moab’s ^H4124 king ^H4428 from the mountains ^H2022 of the East ^H6924,

‘Come ^H1980 curse ^H779 Jacob ^H3290 for me,

And come ^H1980, denounce ^H2194 Israel ^H3478!’

“Arise ^H6965, O Balak ^H1111, and hear ^H8085;

Give ^H238 ear ^H238 to me, O son ^H1121 of Zippor ^H6834!

“The oracle ^H5002 of Balaam ^H1109 the son ^H1121 of Beor ^H1160,

And the oracle ^H5002 of the man ^H1397 whose eye ^H5869 is uncovered ^H8365;

Then he took ^H5375 up ^H5375 his discourse ^H4912 and said ^H559,

“The oracle ^H5002 of Balaam ^H1109 the son ^H1121 of Beor ^H1160,

And the oracle ^H5002 of the man ^H1397 whose eye ^H5869 is uncovered ^H8365,

Then he looked ^H7200 at Amalek ^H6002 and took ^H5375 up ^H5375 his discourse ^H4912 and said ^H559,

“Amalek ^H6002 was the first ^H7225 of the nations ^H1471,

But his end ^H319 shall be [fn]destruction ^H8.”

Then he took ^H5375 up ^H5375 his discourse ^H4912 and said ^H559,

“Woe ^H188, who ^H4310 can live ^H2421 except when God ^H410 has ordained ^H7760 it?

“The God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478 said ^H559,

The Rock ^H6697 of Israel ^H3478 spoke ^H1696 to me,

‘He who rules ^H4910 over men ^H120 as a righteous ^H6662 one,

Who rules ^H4910 in the fear ^H3374 of God ^H430,

You make ^H7760 us a byword ^H4912 among the nations ^H1471,

A [fn]laughingstock ^H4493 H7218 among the peoples ^H3816.

I will incline ^H5186 my ear ^H241 to a proverb ^H4912;

I will [fn]express ^H6605 my riddle ^H2420 on the harp ^H3658.

When I made ^H5414 sackcloth ^H8242 my clothing ^H3830,

I became ^H1961 a byword ^H4912 to them.

I will open ^H6605 my mouth ^H6310 in a parable ^H4912;

I will pour ^H5042 forth ^H5042 dark ^H2420 sayings ^H2420 of old ^H6924,

To understand ^H995 a proverb ^H4912 and an enigma ^H4426,

The words ^H1697 of the wise ^H2450 and their riddles ^H2420.

In addition ^H3148 to being ^H1961 a wise ^H2450 man ^H2450, the Preacher ^H6953 also ^H5750 taught ^H3925 the people ^H5971 knowledge ^H1847; and he pondered ^H239, searched ^H2713 out ^H2713, and [fn]arranged ^H8626 many ^H7235 proverbs ^H4912.

“Behold ^H2009, everyone ^H3605 who quotes ^H4911 proverbs ^H4911 will quote ^H4911 this proverb ^H4911 concerning ^H5921 you, saying ^H559, ‘[fn]Like mother ^H517, [fn]like daughter ^H1323.’

‘The fathers ^H1 eat ^H398 the sour ^H1155 grapes ^H1155,

But the children’s ^H1121 teeth ^H8127 [fn]are set ^H6949 on edge ^H6949’?

‘And fire ^H784 has gone ^H3318 out ^H3318 from its thick ^H4294 branch ^H4294;

It has consumed ^H398 its shoots ^H909 and fruit ^H6529,

So that there is not in it a [fn]strong ^H5797 thick ^H4294 branch ^H4294,

A scepter ^H7626 to rule ^H4910.’”

This ^H1931 is a lamentation ^H7015 and has become ^H1961 a lamentation ^H7015.

“Put ^H8239 on the pot ^H5518, put ^H8239 it on and also ^H1571 pour ^H3332 water ^H4325 in it;

“On that day ^H3117 they will take ^H5375 up ^H5375 against ^H5921 you a [fn]taunt ^H4912

And [fn]utter ^H5091 a bitter ^H5093 wailing ^H5092 and say ^H559,

‘We are completely ^H7703 devastated ^H7703!

He exchanges ^H4171 the portion ^H2506 of my people ^H5971;

How ^H349 He removes ^H4185 it from me!

To the faithless ^H7728 one, He apportions ^H2505 our fields ^H7704.’

“Will not all ^H3605 of these ^H428 lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 a taunt-song ^H4912 against ^H5921 him,

Even satire ^H4426 and riddles ^H2420 against him

And say ^H559, ‘Woe ^H1945 to him who increases ^H7235 what is not his—

For how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970—

And makes ^H3513 himself [fn]rich ^H3513 with loans ^H5671?’
