3 Withered up through want and hunger, they flee into waste places long since desolate and desert:

5 They are driven forth from among [men] — they cry after them as after a thief —
From [the] community they are driven away people shout on them like thief.
6 To dwell in gloomy gorges, in caves of the earth and the rocks:
On [the] slope of wadis to dwell holes of [the] ground and rocks.
7 They bray among the bushes; under the brambles they are gathered together:
Between bushes they bray under nettle[s] they are joined together.
8 Sons of fools, and sons of nameless sires, they are driven out of the land.
Sons of a fool also sons of not a name they have been scourged from the land.
9 And now I am their song, yea, I am their byword.
And now taunt song their I have become and I have become for them a word.
10 They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, yea, they spare not to spit in my face.
They abhor me they are distant from me and from face my not they have withheld spittle.
11 For he hath loosed my cord and afflicted me; so they cast off the bridle before me.

12 At [my] right hand rise the young brood; they push away my feet, and raise up against me their pernicious ways;
On [the] right [side] a brood they arise feet my they have sent away and they have piled up on me [the] paths of disaster their.
13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, without any to help them;
They have torn down pathway my to destruction my they benefit not a helper [belongs] to them.
14 They come in as through a wide breach: amid the confusion they roll themselves onward.
Like a breach wide they come under devastation they have rolled themselves.
15 Terrors are turned against me; they pursue mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away like a cloud.

17 The night pierceth through my bones [and detacheth them] from me, and my gnawing pains take no rest:
Night bones my he has pierced from on me and gnawing [pains] my not they rest!
18 By their great force they have become my raiment; they bind me about as the collar of my coat.
With greatness of strength it disguises itself clothing my like [the] mouth of tunic my he girds about me.
19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.
He has thrown me to the mud and I have become like like dust and ash[es].
20 I cry unto thee, and thou answerest me not; I stand up, and thou lookest at me.
I cry for help to you and not you answer me I have stood and you have considered carefully me.
21 Thou art changed to a cruel one to me; with the strength of thy hand thou pursuest me.

22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to be borne away, and dissolvest my substance.
You lift up me to [the] wind you make ride me and you dissolve me (success. *Q(K)*)
23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and into the house of assemblage for all living.

24 Indeed, no prayer [availeth] when he stretcheth out [his] hand: though they cry when he destroyeth.
Surely not on a heap of ruins anyone stretches out a hand or in disaster his to them a cry for help.
25 Did not I weep for him whose days were hard? was not my soul grieved for the needy?
Not did I weep for [the] hard of day was it grieved? self my for the needy [person].
26 For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness.

And it has become mourning harp my and flute my [the] sound of weepers.
