Why, seeing times⁶²⁵⁶ are not hidden⁶⁸⁴⁵ from the Almighty,⁷⁷⁰⁶ do they that know³⁰⁴⁵ him not see²³⁷² his days?³¹¹⁷

Some remove⁵³⁸¹ the landmarks;¹³⁶⁷ they violently take away¹⁴⁹⁷ flocks,⁵⁷³⁹ and feed⁷⁴⁶² thereof.

They drive away⁵⁰⁹⁰ the donkey²⁵⁴³ of the fatherless,³⁴⁹⁰ they take the widow's⁴⁹⁰ ox⁷⁷⁹⁴ for a pledge.²²⁵⁴

They turn⁵¹⁸⁶ the needy³⁴ out of the way:¹⁸⁷⁰ the poor⁶⁰⁴¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ hide²²⁴⁴ themselves together.³¹⁶²

Behold, as wild donkeys⁶⁵⁰¹ in the desert,⁴⁰⁵⁷ go they forth³³¹⁸ to their work;⁶⁴⁶⁷ rising betimes⁷⁸³⁶ for a prey:²⁹⁶⁴ the wilderness⁶¹⁶⁰ yieldeth food³⁸⁹⁹ for them and for their children.⁵²⁸⁸

They reap⁷¹¹⁴ every one his corn¹⁰⁹⁸ in the field:⁷⁷⁰⁴ and they gather³⁹⁵³ the vintage³⁷⁵⁴ of the wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

They cause the naked⁶¹⁷⁴ to lodge³⁸⁸⁵ without clothing,³⁸³⁰ that they have no covering³⁶⁸² in the cold.⁷¹³⁵

They are wet⁷³⁷² with the showers²²³⁰ of the mountains,²⁰²² and embrace²²⁶³ the rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ for want of a shelter.⁴²⁶⁸

They pluck¹⁴⁹⁷ the fatherless³⁴⁹⁰ from the breast,⁷⁶⁹⁹ and take a pledge²²⁵⁴ of the poor.⁶⁰⁴¹

They cause him to go¹⁹⁸⁰ naked⁶¹⁷⁴ without clothing,³⁸³⁰ and they take away⁵³⁷⁵ the sheaf⁶⁰¹⁶ from the hungry;⁷⁴⁵⁷

Which make oil⁶⁶⁷¹ within⁹⁹⁶ their walls,⁷⁷⁹¹ and tread¹⁸⁶⁹ their winepresses,³³⁴² and suffer thirst.⁶⁷⁷⁰

Men⁴⁹⁶² groan⁵⁰⁰⁸ from out of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and the soul⁵³¹⁵ of the wounded²⁴⁹¹ crieth out:⁷⁷⁶⁸ yet Eloah⁴³³ layeth⁷⁷⁶⁰ not folly⁸⁶⁰⁴ to them.

They are of those that rebel⁴⁷⁷⁵ against the light;²¹⁶ they know⁵²³⁴ not the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ thereof, nor abide³⁴²⁷ in the paths⁵⁴¹⁰ thereof.

The murderer⁷⁵²³ rising⁶⁹⁶⁵ with the light²¹⁶ killeth⁶⁹⁹¹ the poor⁶⁰⁴¹ and needy,³⁴ and in the night³⁹¹⁵ is as a thief.¹⁵⁹⁰

The eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ also of the adulterer⁵⁰⁰³ waiteth⁸¹⁰⁴ for the twilight,⁵³⁹⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ No eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall see⁷⁷⁸⁹ me: and disguiseth⁵⁶⁴³ his face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

In the dark²⁸²² they dig through²⁸⁶⁴ houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ which they had marked²⁸⁵⁶ for themselves in the daytime:³¹¹⁹ they know³⁰⁴⁵ not the light.²¹⁶

For the morning¹²⁴² is to them even as³¹⁶² the shadow of death:⁶⁷⁵⁷ if one know⁵²³⁴ them, they are in the terrors¹⁰⁹¹ of the shadow of death.⁶⁷⁵⁷

He is swift⁷⁰³¹ as⁶⁴⁴⁰ the waters;⁴³²⁵ their portion²⁵¹³ is cursed⁷⁰⁴³ in the earth:⁷⁷⁶ he beholdeth⁶⁴³⁷ not the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the vineyards.³⁷⁵⁴

Drought⁶⁷²³ and heat²⁵²⁷ consume¹⁴⁹⁷ the snow⁷⁹⁵⁰ waters:⁴³²⁵ so doth the grave⁷⁵⁸⁵ those which have sinned.²³⁹⁸

The womb⁷³⁵⁸ shall forget⁷⁹¹¹ him; the worm⁷⁴¹⁵ shall feed sweetly⁴⁹⁸⁸ on him; he shall be no more remembered;²¹⁴² and wickedness⁵⁷⁶⁶ shall be broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ as a tree.⁶⁰⁸⁶

He evil entreateth⁷⁴⁶² the barren⁶¹³⁵ that beareth³²⁰⁵ not: and doeth not good³¹⁹⁰ to the widow.⁴⁹⁰

He draweth⁴⁹⁰⁰ also the mighty⁴⁷ with his power:³⁵⁸¹ he riseth up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and no man is sure⁵³⁹ of life.²⁴¹⁶

Though it be given⁵⁴¹⁴ him to be in safety,⁹⁸³ whereon he resteth;⁸¹⁷² yet his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are upon their ways.¹⁸⁷⁰

They are exalted⁷⁴²⁶ for a little while,⁴⁵⁹² but are gone and brought low;⁴³⁵⁵ they are taken out of the way⁷⁰⁹² as all other, and cut off⁵²⁴³ as the tops⁷²¹⁸ of the ears of corn.⁷⁶⁴¹

And if it be not so now,⁶⁴⁵ who will make me a liar,³⁵⁷⁶ and make⁷⁷⁶⁰ my speech⁴⁴⁰⁵ nothing worth?⁴⁰⁸
