No one walks together with him or directs their steps towards him. Life { passes him by like water } { (1 ms. has instead:) eludes him just as he avoids others }. He is dear to no just man, { plague prevails over him } { (1 ms. has instead:) life is not given to him }. Like a worthless penny, { ……; no one …… } { (1 ms. has instead:) he is thrown away; no one cares about him }. He is clothed with a garment as if a heavy punishment were assigned to him. { Who is he? His name? A man sleeping with someone's wife. } { (1 ms. has instead:) Who is he? He is a man who slept with someone's wife. }
