³

б^о бреже'тъ г~ь а^ще ты е^си дњ'лы непоро'ченъ, и^ли походи ја%ко про'стъ пђть твои,

³

For what matters it to the Lord, if thou wert blameless in thy works? or is it profitable that thou shouldest perfect thy way?

The light has proved darkness to thee, and water has covered thee on thy lying down.

¹²

Не живы'и ли на высо'кихъ преꙁира'ет#, възноси'мыя же ё^кори'ꙁною смњри”

¹²

Does not he that dwells in the high places observe? and has he not brought down the proud?

¹⁶

who were seized before their time: their foundations are as an overflowing stream.

¹⁷

гл~ющи г~ь чт^о сътво'ритъ намъ, и^ли чт^о нанесе'тъ на' ны вседржи'теl”

¹⁷

Who say, What will the Lord do to us? or what will the Almighty bring upon us?

¹⁸

И$же и^спо'лнилъ е^сть до'мы и^хъ бл~гоT, совњт# же нечести'выX дале'че эT него”

The righteous have seen it, and laughed, and the blameless one has derided them.
