32. Without them a city can’t be inhabited,and they neither go abroad to liveas immigrants nor travel about.However, they aren’t sought outwhen the people hold a council,
33. and they won’t gain prominencein the assembly.They won’t sit in the judge’s seat,and they won’t understandthe disposition of a legal case.They will never shed lighton instruction and judgment,and their wordswon’t be memorialized in proverbs.
34. But they support the worldfrom its foundations,and their prayer is concernedwith their craft.But those who devote themselvesand think about the Law of theMost High are the exception.
