2 To/for_what do _you _all _weigh _out money in/on/at/with_not bread and_labour _of_your _all’s in/on/at/with_not for_satisfy listen carefully _(listen) to_me and_eat good _thing[s] and_delight in/on/at/with_rich _food soul _of_your _all’s.
3 Incline ear _of_your _all’s and_come to_me listen soul _of_your _all’s and_live and_make to/for_you _all a _covenant _of perpetuity the _covenant _loyalti(es)_of Dāvid the_faithful.
4 Here a _witness _of peoples made_him a _leader and_commander (of)_peoples.
5 There a _nation [which]_not you _know you _will _call and_nations [which]_not know_you to_you they _will _run on _account _of YHWH god _of_your and_of_holy _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) if/because glorified_you.

7 Let _him _abandon a _wicked _[person] its_road/course and_man _of wickedness thoughts _of_his and_return to YHWH and_have _compassion _on_him and_near/to god _of_our if/because he _will _increase to_pardon.
