2 Oid, sabios, mis palabras; y vosotros, doctos, estadme atentos.

10 “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

18 ¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; y á los príncipes: Impíos?
18 who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
19 He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.

23 For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.

27 because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
27 Por cuanto así se apartaron de él, y no consideraron todos sus caminos;
27 because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,

28 Haciendo venir delante de él el clamor del pobre, y que oiga el clamor de los necesitados.
28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
29 Y si él diere reposo, ¿quién inquietará? si escondiere el rostro, ¿quién lo mirará? [Esto] sobre una nación, y lo mismo sobre un hombre;
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
