1

aWhyh4069 are  1timesh6256 not storedh6845 up by the Almightyh7706b, And why do those who knowh3045 Him not seeh2372  bHis daysh3117?

2

1Some  aremoveh5381 the landmarksh1367; They seizeh1497 and  2devourh7462a flocksh5739.

3

"They driveh5090a awayh5090a the donkeysh2543 of the  aorphansh3490; They takeh2254a the  bwidow'sh490 oxh7794 for a pledgeh2254a.

4

"They pushh5186  athe needyh34 asideh5186 from the roadh1870; The  bpoorh6041 of the landh776 are made to hideh2244 themselves altogetherh3162.

5

"Beholdh2005, as  awildh6501 donkeysh6501 in the wildernessh4057b They  bgoh3318 forthh3318 seekingh7836 foodh2964 in their activityh6467, As  1breadh3899 for their childrenh5288 in the deserth6160.

6

"They harvesth7114b their fodderh1098 in the fieldh7704 And gleanh3953 the vineyardh3754 of the wickedh7563.

7

aThey spendh3885a the nighth3885a nakedh6174, withouth1097 clothingh3830, And haveh369 noh369 coveringh3682 against the coldh7135.

8

"They are weth7372 with the mountainh2022 rainsh2230 And hugh2263 the rockh6697 for wanth1097 of a shelterh4268.

9

1Others snatchh1497 the  aorphanh3490 from the breasth7699b, And againsth5921 the poorh6041 they takeh2254a a pledgeh2254a.

10

"They cause the poor to goh1980 about nakedh6174 withouth1097 clothingh3830, And they takeh5375 awayh5375 the sheavesh6016a from the hungryh7457.

11

"Withinh996 the wallsh7791 they produceh6671 oilh6671; They treadh1869 wineh3342 pressesh3342 but thirsth6770.

12

"From the cityh5892b menh4962 groanh5008, And the soulsh5315 of the woundedh2491a cryh7768 out; Yet Godh433  adoes not payh7760 attentionh7760 to follyh8604.

13

1Othersh1992a have beenh1961 with those who rebelh4775 against the lighth216; They do not want to knowh5234 its waysh1870 Norh3808 abideh3427 in its pathsh5410b.

14

"The murdererh7523  aarisesh6965 at dawnh216; He  bkillsh6991 the poorh6041 and the needyh34, And at nighth3915 he is as a thiefh1590.

15

"The eyeh5869 of the  aadultererh5003 waitsh8104 for the twilighth5399, Sayingh559, `Noh3808 eyeh5869 will seeh7789 me.' And he  1disguisesh7760h5643a his faceh6440.

16

"In the darkh2822 they  adigh2864 into housesh1004, They  bshuth2856 themselves up by dayh3119; They do not knowh3045 the lighth216.

17

"For the morningh1242 is the sameh3164a to him as thickh6757 darknessh6757, For he is familiarh5234 with the  aterrorsh1091 of thickh6757 darknessh6757.

18

"They are  1 ainsignificanth7031 on the surfaceh6440 of the waterh4325; Their portionh2513a is  bcursedh7043 on the earthh776. They do not turnh6437  2towardh1870 the  cvineyardsh3754.

19

"Droughth6723 and heath2527  1 aconsumeh1497 the snowh7950 watersh4325, So does  2 bSheolh7585 those who have sinnedh2398.

20

"A  1 amotherh7358 will forgeth7911 him; The  bwormh7415 feedsh4985 sweetlyh4985 till he is  cnoh3808 longerh5750 rememberedh2142. And wickednessh5767b will be brokenh7665  dlike a treeh6086.

21

"He wrongsh7462a the  1barrenh6135 womanh6135 And doesh3190 noh3808 goodh3190 for  athe widowh490.

22

"But He dragsh4900 off the valianth47 by  aHis powerh3581b; He risesh6965, but  bnoh3808 one hash539 assuranceh539 of lifeh2425b.

23

"He providesh5414 them  awith securityh983, and they are supportedh8172; And His  beyesh5869 are on their waysh1870.

24

"They are exaltedh7426a a  alittleh4592 whileh4592, then they are goneh369; Moreover, they are  bbroughth4355 lowh4355 and like everythingh3605 gatheredh7092 up; Even like the headsh7218 of grainh7641 they are cuth4448c offh4448c.

25

"Now ifh518 it is not soh645,  awhoh4310 can proveh3576 me a liarh3576, And makeh7760 my speechh4405 worthlessh408?"
