      | ¶ | Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? | |
| [Some] remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed [thereof]. | ||
| They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. | ||
| They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. | ||
| 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. | ||
| They reap [every one] his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. | ||
| They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that [they have] no covering in the cold. | ||
| They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. | ||
| They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. | ||
| They cause [him] to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf [from] the hungry; | ||
| [Which] make oil within their walls, [and] tread [their] winepresses, and suffer thirst. | ||
| Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly [to them]. | ||
| ¶ | They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. | |
| The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. | ||
| The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth [his] face. | ||
| In the dark they dig through houses, [which] they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. | ||
| 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. | ||
| He [is] swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. | ||
| Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [so doth] the grave [those which] have sinned. | ||
| 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. | ||
| He evil entreateth the barren [that] beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. | ||
| ¶ | He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life. | |
| [Though] it be given him [to be] in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes [are] upon their ways. | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | And if [it be] not [so] now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? |
