Why,
seeing
times
are
not
hidden
from
the
Almighty,
do
they
that
know
him
not
see
his
days?
2
[Some]
remove
the
landmarks;
they
violently
take
away
flocks,
and
feed
[thereof].
3
They
drive
away
the
ass
of
the
fatherless,
they
take
the
widow’s
ox
for
a
pledge.
4
They
turn
the
needy
out
of
the
way:
the
poor
of
the
earth
hide
themselves
together.
5
Behold,
[as]
wild
asses
in
the
desert,
go
they
forth
to
their
work;
rising
betimes
for
a
prey:
the
wilderness
[yieldeth]
food
for
them
[and]
for
[their]
children.
6
They
reap
[every
one]
his
corn
in
the
field:
and
they
gather
the
vintage
of
the
wicked.
7
They
cause
the
naked
to
lodge
without
clothing,
that
[they
have]
no
covering
in
the
cold.
8
They
are
wet
with
the
showers
of
the
mountains,
and
embrace
the
rock
for
want
of
a
shelter.
9
They
pluck
the
fatherless
from
the
breast,
and
take
a
pledge
of
the
poor.
10
They
cause
[him]
to
go
naked
without
clothing,
and
they
take
away
the
sheaf
[from]
the
hungry;
11
[Which]
make
oil
within
their
walls,
[and]
tread
[their]
winepresses,
and
suffer
thirst.
12
Men
groan
from
out
of
the
city,
and
the
soul
of
the
wounded
crieth
out:
yet
God
layeth
not
folly
[to
them].
13
They
are
of
those
that
rebel
against
the
light;
they
know
not
the
ways
thereof,
nor
abide
in
the
paths
thereof.
14
The
murderer
rising
with
the
light
killeth
the
poor
and
needy,
and
in
the
night
is
as
a
thief.
15
The
eye
also
of
the
adulterer
waiteth
for
the
twilight,
saying,
No
eye
shall
see
me:
and
disguiseth
[his]
face.
16
In
the
dark
they
dig
through
houses,
[which]
they
had
marked
for
themselves
in
the
daytime:
they
know
not
the
light.
17
For
the
morning
[is]
to
them
even
as
the
shadow
of
death:
if
[one]
know
[them,
they
are
in]
the
terrors
of
the
shadow
of
death.
18
He
[is]
swift
as
the
waters;
their
portion
is
cursed
in
the
earth:
he
beholdeth
not
the
way
of
the
vineyards.
19
Drought
and
heat
consume
the
snow
waters:
[so
doth]
the
grave
[those
which]
have
sinned.
20
The
womb
shall
forget
him;
the
worm
shall
feed
sweetly
on
him;
he
shall
be
no
more
remembered;
and
wickedness
shall
be
broken
as
a
tree.
21
He
evil
entreateth
the
barren
[that]
beareth
not:
and
doeth
not
good
to
the
widow.
22
He
draweth
also
the
mighty
with
his
power:
he
riseth
up,
and
no
[man]
is
sure
of
life.
23
[Though]
it
be
given
him
[to
be]
in
safety,
whereon
he
resteth;
yet
his
eyes
[are]
upon
their
ways.
24
They
are
exalted
for
a
little
while,
but
are
gone
and
brought
low;
they
are
taken
out
of
the
way
as
all
[other],
and
cut
off
as
the
tops
of
the
ears
of
corn.
25
And
if
[it
be]
not
[so]
now,
who
will
make
me
a
liar,
and
make
my
speech
nothing
worth?
