3 и от стран собра их, от восток и запад, и севера и моря:
gathering them from all lands, east, west, north, and south.
4 заблудиша в пустыни безводней, пути града обителнаго не обретоша:

10 седящыя во тме и сени смертней, окованныя нищетою и железом,
Some sat in darkness and gloom prisoners in irons and misery,
11 яко преогорчиша словеса Божия, и совет Вышняго раздражиша.

25 Рече, и ста дух бурен, и вознесошася волны его:
At his command rose a tempest, which lifted the waves on high.
26 восходят до небес и низходят до бездн: душа их в злых таяше:
Up to heaven they went, down to the depths; their courage failed them.

Yet when they are bowed and diminished by oppression, misfortune, or sorrow,
40 излияся уничижение на князи их, и облазни я по непроходней, а не по пути.
he pours contempt upon princes, and on trackless wastes leads them astray
41 И поможе убогу от нищеты и положи яко овцы отечествия.
