Two things cause grief to my heart, and a third arouses my anger: a warrior suffering distress because of poverty, wise individuals treated with contempt, and a man who turns from justice to sin, for whom the Lord will get ready the sword.
At two things my heart is grieved, and because of a third anger comes over me: a warrior in want through poverty, intelligent men who are treated contemptuously, and a man who turns back from righteousness to sin— the Lord will prepare him for the sword!
There are two things that make me sad, and a third that makes me angry: a soldier who has become poor, intelligent people who are not respected, and a righteous person who turns to evil.
In two things mine heart was made sorry, and in the third thing wrathfulness came to me. A man warrior failing by neediness, and a wise man despised. And God hath made him ready to (or for) the sword, that passeth over from rightfulness to sin. [In two things mine heart is made sorrowful, and in the third wrathing to me came. A man fighter failing by mis-ease, and a man well feeling, or perceiving, despised. And that over-goeth from rightwiseness to sin, God prepared him to (or for) a two-biting sword.]
