| 1 | 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. |

| 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?
