44 Heb “under wicked men,” or “under wickednesses.” J. C. Greenfield shows that the preposition can mean “among” as well (“Prepositions B Tachat in Jes 57:5,” 32 [1961]: 227). That would allow “among wicked men.” It could also be “instead of” or even “in return for [their wickedness]” which is what the does.
45 The text simply uses רֹאִים (ro’im): “[in the place where there are] seers,” i.e., spectators.
46 The verb הִשְׂכִּילוּ (hiskilu) means “to be prudent; to be wise.” From this is derived the idea of “be wise in understanding God’s will,” and “be successful because of prudence”—i.e., successful with God.
47 The verse begins with the infinitive construct of בּוֹא (bo’, “go”), showing the result of their impious actions.
48 The verb here is an imperfect; the clause is circumstantial to the preceding clause, showing either the result, or the concomitant action.

He strikes them for their wickedness

in a place for all to see,

because they turned aside from following him

and had no regard for any of his ways,

He punishes them for their wickedness

where everyone can see them,

because they turned from following him

and had no regard for any of his ways.

so that he heard the cry of the needy.

He strikes them where the wicked stood,

where there are onlookers,

because they have turned aside from him

and have not understood any of his ways,

so that they cause the cry of distress from the helpless to come to him,

and he hears the cry of distress from the needy,

He striketh them as wicked men

In the open sight of others;

Because they turned back from him,

And would not consider any of his ways:

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him,

And he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
