15. He delivereth the oni in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
16. Even so would He have removed thee out of the tzar (distress) into a rachav (broad place), free from restriction, to the comfort of thy shulchan, full of choice food.
17. But thou hast been fixated on the din of the rasha; din and mishpat take hold on thee.
18. Because there is chemah, beware lest He take thee away with His stroke; then a rav kopher (great ransom) cannot deliver thee.
19. Will He esteem thy riches? No, not zahav, nor all the forces of ko'ach.
20. Desire not halailah (the night), when people are cut off in their place.
