- 1Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know him see his days?
- 2There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
- 3They drive away the ass of the fatherless; They take the widow's ox for a pledge.
- 4They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
- 5Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness [supplied: yieldeth] them bread for their children.
- 6They cut their provender in the field; And they glean the vintage of the wicked.
- 7They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.
- 8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
- 9There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor;
- 10[supplied: So that] they go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.
- 11They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread [supplied: their] winepresses, and suffer thirst.
- 12From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.

- 13These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof.
- 14The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.
- 15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.
- 16In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light.
- 17For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness; For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
