他们因穷乏饥饿，身体枯瘦，在荒废凄凉的幽暗中啃干燥之地，

他们因穷乏饥饿，没有生气，在荒废凄凉的幽暗中啃干燥之地。

Haggard from want and hunger, they roamed the parched land in desolate wastelands at night.

They were weak because they were needy and hungry. They wandered through dry and empty deserts at night.

Through want and hard hunger they gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation;

They are gaunt from poverty and hunger. They claw the dry ground in desolate wastelands.

Emaciated from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, the desolate wasteland by night.

From poverty and famine they are gaunt, They who gnaw at the dry ground by night in waste and desolation,

They are gaunt from want and famine, Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,

They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.

Emaciated from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, the desolate wasteland by night.

For want and famine[ they were] solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

gaunt with want and hunger, they would gnaw the parched land, in former time desolate and waste.

They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.

這些窮人如同野驢在曠野，他們出去作工勞碌，在原野上尋找可抓撕的，做自己和兒女的食物。

『又有人背叛了亮光，不認識亮光之道路，不堅持於亮光之路上。殺人的、天未亮就起來，屠殺困苦貧窮的人；夜間又去作賊。姦夫的眼守候到黃昏，說：「必沒有眼目望見我」；他並且把臉蒙着。盜賊在黑暗中挖進人的房屋，白日閉門不出，硬不認識亮光。

世界配不上他們：他們在曠野、在山嶺、在洞窘、在地穴、飄流無定。
