And what man among the people was found to be a judge,
Yet did not enforce rulings in keeping with Sadūm’s judgment?
أَبَتrefused فاقِداتُthose lacking الحِسِّfeeling حَملَto bear رَزِيَّةٍa calamity
أَبَت فاقِداتُ الحِسِّ حَملَ رَزِيَّةٍ
وَهَلand has رابَtroubled صَخّراًa rock نَحتُهُits hewing بَقَدومِwith an adze
وَهَل رابَ صَخّراً نَحتُهُ بَقَدومِ
Things devoid of feeling refused to bear calamity;
And has a rock been troubled by its hewing with an adze?
