Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment?
Why do those who know him never see his days?
Like wild donkeys in the wilderness,
the poor go out to their task of foraging for food;
the desert provides nourishment for their children.
The wicked are those who rebel against the light.
They do not recognize its ways
or stay on its paths.
The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight,
thinking, “No eye will see me,”
and he covers his face.
For the morning is like darkness to them.
Surely they are familiar with the terrors of darkness!
The womb forgets them;
worms feed on them;
they are remembered no more.
So injustice is broken like a tree.
He gives them a sense of security, so they can rely on it,
but his eyes watch over their ways.
