מַה־נִּמְרְצוּ אִמְרֵי־יֹשֶׁר וּמַה־יּוֹכִיחַ הוֹכֵחַ מִכֶּֽם
How forcible are words of uprightness! But what doth your arguing argue?
הַלְהוֹכַח מִלִּים תַּחְשֹׁבוּ וּלְרוּחַ אִמְרֵי נֹאָֽשׁ
Do ye hold words to be an argument, But the speeches of one that is desperate to be wind?
אַף־עַל־יָתוֹם תַּפִּילוּ וְתִכְרוּ עַל־רֵֽיעֲכֶֽם
Yea, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless, And dig a pit for your friend.
וְעַתָּה הוֹאִילוּ פְנוּ־בִי וְעַל־פְּנֵיכֶם אִם־אֲכַזֵּֽב
Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.
שֻֽׁבוּ־נָא אַל־תְּהִי עַוְלָה ושבי עוֹד צִדְקִי־בָֽהּ
Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; Yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
