4 For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them.

9 No obstante, proseguirá el justo su camino, y el limpio de manos aumentará la fuerza.
9 Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

10 Mas volved todos vosotros, y venid ahora, que no hallaré entre vosotros sabio.
10 But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.
11 My days have passed by, My devices have been broken off, The possessions of my heart!

13 If I wait — Sheol [is] my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch.

14 A la huesa tengo dicho: Mi padre eres tú; á los gusanos: Mi madre y mi hermana.
14 if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
15 And where [is] now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold it?
15 ¿Dónde pues estará ahora mi esperanza? y mi esperanza ¿quién la verá?
15 where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?
16 [To] the parts of Sheol ye go down, If together on the dust we may rest.
16 A los rincones de la huesa descenderán, y juntamente descansarán en el polvo.
16 Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”
