הִקְשַׁ֤בְתִּי וָֽאֶשְׁמָע֙ לוֹא־כֵ֣ן יְדַבֵּ֔רוּ אֵ֣ין אִ֗ישׁ נִחָם֙ עַל־רָ֣עָת֔וֹ לֵאמֹ֖ר מֶ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתִי כֻּלֹּ֗ה שָׁ֚ב במרצותם [בִּמְר֣וּצָתָ֔ם] כְּס֥וּס שׁוֹטֵ֖ף בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
Nakinig Ako at pinakinggan Ko, ngunit hindi tama ang kanilang sinasabi. Walang taong nagsisisi sa kanyang kasamaan, na nagsasabing: “Ano ba ang aking ginawa?” Bawat isa sa kanila ay bumabalik sa kanyang pagtakbo, gaya ng kabayong humahagibis sa digmaan.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry: – Make thine ear attentive, for the verb (הקשׁיבה) is transitive. And so it is written (Prov. 2:2): “to incline (להקשׁיב) thine ear unto wisdom”; “Thou wilt make attentive thine ear” (Ps. 10:17). The word is connected with (the prepositions) ל, אל, and ב; and sometimes it is (used) without any connecting letter (at all), as ואשׁמע הקשבתי, “I hearkened and heard” (Jer. 8:6); מי הקשׁיב דברו, “Who hath hearkened to his word?” (ibid, 23:17).
