Warte ein wenig, ich will es dir künden, ich habe für Gott noch mehr zu sagen.
“I will fetch my knowledge from afar,
And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

And are caught in the cords of affliction,
And are caught in the cords of affliction,
Doch sind in Fesseln sie geschlagen, gefangen in des Elends Stricken,

And their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves.

“He opens their ear to instruction,
And commands that they return from evil.

They will end their days in prosperity
And their years in pleasures.

And their years in pleasures.
Wenn sie hören und ihm dienen, vollenden sie im Glück ihre Tage, in Wonnen ihre Jahre.
“But if they do not hear, they shall perish by the sword
And they will die without knowledge.
And they will die without knowledge.
Hören sie nicht, so fahren sie zum Todesschacht hinab, verscheiden im Unverstand.
“But the godless in heart lay up anger;
They do not cry for help when He binds them.
They do not cry for help when He binds them.
Ruchlos Gesinnte hegen Groll, schreien nicht um Hilfe, wenn er sie fesselt.
“They die in youth,
And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes.

Schon in der Jugend muss ihre Seele sterben, ihr Leben im Alter von Geweihten.
“He delivers the afflicted in their affliction,
And opens their ear in time of oppression.

Den Geplagten rettet er durch seine Plage und öffnet durch Bedrängnis sein Ohr.

Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;
And that which was set on your table was full of fatness.

And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.

When people vanish in their place.

For you have preferred this to affliction.
