日头一出，兽便躲避，卧在洞里。

太阳一出，兽就躲避，躺卧在洞里。

東方既白。遄返其窟。

The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.

The sun rises, and they slip away. They return to their dens and lie down.

When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens.

At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.

The sun rises; they go back and lie down in their dens.

When the sun rises they withdraw, And they lie down in their dens.

When the sun rises, they gather together And lie down in their dens.

The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.

野獸躲進窩裡，留在洞中。

你的臣僕像蝗蟲，你的將領像成群的蚱蜢。牠們寒日聚集在牆上，太陽一出來就飛走了，無人知道牠們的行蹤。

「有人與光明為敵，不認識光明之道，也不走光明之路。兇手黎明起來，殺害貧苦的人，夜晚又去做賊。姦夫的眼睛盼著黃昏，心想，『沒人會看見我』，並把臉蒙起來。盜賊夜間挖牆行竊，日間躲藏起來，不想認識光明。他們以晝作夜，熟知黑夜的恐怖。

作惡的人恨光，不肯接近光，恐怕他們的罪行暴露出來。
