²¹ Happy are you who are in need of food now: for you will be made full. Happy are you who are weeping now; for you will be glad.

²² Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

²⁴ But unhappy are you who have wealth: for you have been comforted now.

²⁵ Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow.

²⁶ Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

¹⁹ And for me, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make clear without fear the secret of the good news,

¹ Then, opening his mouth, and cursing the day of his birth,

¹ <Maschil. Of Asaph.> Give ear, O my people, to my law; let your ears be bent down to the words of my mouth.

² Opening my mouth I will give out a story, even the dark sayings of old times;

⁶ Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.
