6 in/on/with land: country fodder his (to reap *QK) and vineyard wicked to glean
They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: the poor have laboured in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food.

10 naked to go: went without clothing and hungry to lift: bear sheaf
And they have wrongfully caused [others] to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry.

12 from city man to groan and soul slain: wounded to cry and god not to set: put folly
Who have cast forth [the] poor from the city and their own houses, and the soul of the children has groaned aloud.
13 they(masc.) to be in/on/with to rebel light not to recognize way: conduct his and not to dwell in/on/with path his
Why then has he not visited these? forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, and they knew not the way of righteousness, neither have they walked in their [appointed] paths?
14 to/for light to arise: rise to murder to slay afflicted and needy and in/on/with night to be like/as thief
But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: and in the night one will be as a thief:
15 and eye to commit adultery to keep: look at twilight to/for to say not to see me eye and secrecy face to set: make
and the eye of the adulterer has watched [for] the darkness, saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on his face.

17 for together morning to/for them shadow for to recognize terror shadow
For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death, for [each] will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death.
18 swift he/she/it upon face: surface water to lighten portion their in/on/with land: country/planet not to turn way: road vineyard

Then is his sin brought to remembrance, and he vanishes like a vapor of dew: but let what he has done be recompensed to him, and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood.
21 to pasture barren not to beget and widow not be good
For he has not treated the barren woman well, and has had no pity on a feeble woman.
22 and to draw mighty: strong in/on/with strength his to arise: rise and not be faithful in/on/with life
And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: therefore when he has arisen, [a man] will not feel secure of his own life.
23 to give: give to/for him to/for security and to lean and eye his upon way: conduct their
When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease.
24 be exalted little and nothing he and to sink like/as all to gather [emph?] and like/as head ear to languish
For his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.

But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, and will make my words of no account?
