אֹטֵ֣ם אָ֭זְנוֹ מִזַּעֲקַת דָּ֑ל גַּם ה֥וּא יִ֝קְרָ֗א וְלֹ֣א יֵעָנֶֽה׃
ʾoṭem ʾaznvo mizaʿaqat dal gam hvʾ yiqraʾ vloʾ yeʿaneh
King James Version (KJV)

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.
