- Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
- Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

- Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

- Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world,
- both low and high, rich and poor alike:

- I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp I will expound my riddle:
- Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me-
