⁵ They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

¹ And I say, `Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?

³ When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done?

¹³ Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness,

⁴ Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

¹¹ and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.

¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

²⁸ And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;

¹⁹ `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

⁹ Therefore hath judgment been far from us, And righteousness reacheth us not, We wait for light, and lo, darkness, For brightness -- in thick darkness we go,

⁷ Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts `Is' the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.

¹⁶ And again, I have seen under the sun the place of judgment -- there `is' the wicked; and the place of righteousness -- there `is' the wicked.

¹⁴ The wise! -- his eyes `are' in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all;

¹⁹ The way of the wicked `is' as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.

²⁹ Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

³ Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I -- I have pondered its pillars. Selah.

⁴ Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
