2 For I am more like a beast than any man, I have no power of reasoning like a man:
That [am] stupid I more than anyone and not [the] understanding of a person [belongs] to me.

And not I have learned wisdom and knowledge of [the] holy [one] I know.
4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?
Who? has he gone up heaven - and has he come down? who? has he gathered [the] wind - in hands his who? has he wrapped [the] waters - in cloak who? has he set up all [the] ends of [the] earth what? [is] name his and what? [is] [the] name of son his for you know.

Two [things] I ask from with you may not you withhold [them] from me before I will die.

Deceitfulness - and a word of falsehood put far away from me poverty and wealth may not you give to me let devour me [the] food of allotment my.
9 For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly.
Lest I should be satisfied - and I will deny and I will say who? [is] Yahweh and lest I should become impoverished and I will steal and I will seize [the] name of God my.

17 The eye which makes sport of a father, and sees no value in a mother when she is old will be rooted out by the ravens of the valley, and be food for the young eagles.

Under a slave for he will become king and a fool for he will be satisfied food.
23 A hated woman when she is married; and a servant-girl who takes the place of her master's wife.
Under a hated [woman] for she will be married and a female servant for she will dispossess mistress her.

32 If you have done foolishly in lifting yourself up, or if you have had evil designs, put your hand over your mouth.
If you have been foolish by exalting yourself and if you have plotted hand to a mouth.
33 The shaking of milk makes butter, and the twisting of the nose makes blood come: so the forcing of wrath is a cause of fighting.
For squeezing of milk it brings forth butter and squeezing of a nose it brings forth blood and squeezing of anger it brings forth strife.
