RBT Hebrew Literal:
For you are at all times holding the cowering ones in company with your own selves! And whenever you desire, you at all times have power to make right to themselves, but myself at all times you are not holding!
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
For always have ye the poor with you, and when ye wish ye can do them good: and me ye have not always.
LITV Translation:
For you have the poor with you always, and when you wish, you can do well toward them. But you do not have Me always.
ESV Translation:
For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me.
