Have you not asked those who travel the roads, and do you not accept their testimony,
Have ye not asked them that go by the way? And do ye not know their tokens,
Have you not asked those who travel this way, and do you not accept their testimony and evidences–
Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,
Haven’t you asked travelers or paid attention to their reports?
Ask any passerby whom you wish, and you will realize that he understands these same things:
Ask any one of them that go by the way: and you shall perceive that he knoweth these same things.
For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’
that the wicked are spared in the day of calamity, and are rescued in the day of wrath?
while those who pass by do not say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
