| I perish, carried away by the wind, and I seek for burial, and obtain it not. | ΟΛΕΚΟΜΑΙ πνεύματι φερόμενος, δέομαι δὲ ταφῆς καὶ οὐ τυγχάνω. |

|
| Weary I intreat; and what have I done? and strangers have stolen my goods. | λίσσομαι κάμνων, καὶ τί ποιήσας; |

|
| Who is this? let him join hands with me. | ἔκλεψαν δέ μου τὰ ὑπάρχοντα ἀλλότριοι. τίς ἐστιν οὗτος; τῇ χειρί μου συνδεθήτω. |

|
| For thou hast hid their heart from wisdom; therefore thou shalt not exalt them. | ὅτι καρδίαν αὐτῶν ἔκρυψας ἀπὸ φρονήσεως, διὰ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ ὑψώσῃς αὐτούς. |

|
| He shall promise mischief to his companions: but their eyes have failed for their children. | τῇ μερίδι ἀναγγελεῖ κακίας, ὀφθαλμοὶ δὲ ἐφ᾿ υἱοῖς ἐτάκησαν. |

|
| But thou hast made me a byword among the nations, and I am become a scorn to them. | ἔθου δέ με θρύλημα ἐν ἔθνεσι, γέλως δὲ αὐτοῖς ἀπέβην· |
|

|

|
| For my eyes are dimmed through pain; I have been grievously beset by all. | πεπώρωνται γὰρ ἀπὸ ὀργῆς οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, πεπολιόρκημαι μεγάλως ὑπὸ πάντων. |

|
| Wonder has seized true men upon this; and let the just rise up against the transgressor. | θαῦμα ἔσχεν ἀληθινοὺς ἐπὶ τούτῳ, δίκαιος δὲ ἐπὶ παρανόμῳ ἐπανασταίη· |
|

|
| But let the faithful hold on his own way, and let him that is pure of hands take courage. | σχοίη δὲ πιστὸς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδόν, καθαρὸς δὲ χεῖρας ἀναλάβοι θάρσος. |

|
| Howbeit, do ye all strengthen yourselves and come now, for I do not find truth in you. | οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ πάντες ἐρείδετε, καὶ δεῦτε δή, οὐ γὰρ εὑρίσκω ἐν ὑμῖν ἀληθές. |

| My days have passed in groaning, and my heart-strings are broken. | αἱ ἡμέραι μου παρῆλθον ἐν βρόμῳ, ἐράγη δὲ τὰ ἄρθρα τῆς καρδίας μου. |

|
| I have turned the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. | νύκτα εἰς ἡμέραν ἔθηκα, φῶς ἐγγὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου σκότους· |
|

|
| For if I remain, Hades is my habitation: and my bed has been made in darkness. | ἐὰν γὰρ ὑπομείνω, ᾅδης μου ὁ οἶκος, ἐν δὲ γνόφῳ ἔστρωταί μου ἡ στρωμνή. |
|

|
| I have called upon death to be my father, and corruption to be my mother and sister. | θάνατον ἐπεκαλεσάμην πατέρα μου εἶναι, μητέρα δέ μου καὶ ἀδελφὴν σαπρίαν. |
|
15
|

|
| Where then is yet my hope? or where shall I see my good? | ποῦ οὖν μου ἔτι ἐστὶν ἡ ἐλπίς; ἦ τὰ ἀγαθά μου ὄψομαι; |
|

|
| Will they go down with me to Hades, or shall we go down together to the tomb? | ἦ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ εἰς ᾅδην καταβήσομαι, ἢ ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπὶ χώματος καταβησόμεθα; |
