Why, seeing timesH6256 are not hiddenH6845 from the AlmightyH7706, do they that knowH3045 him not seeH2372 his daysH3117?
Some removeH5381 the landmarksH1367; they violently take awayH1497 flocksH5739, and feedH7462 thereof. {feed…: or, feed them}
They drive awayH5090 the assH2543 of the fatherlessH3490, they takeH2254 the widow'sH490 oxH7794 for a pledgeH2254.
They turnH5186 the needyH34 out of the wayH1870: the poorH6041+H6035 of the earthH776 hideH2244 themselves togetherH3162.
Behold, as wild assesH6501 in the desertH4057, go they forthH3318 to their workH6467; rising betimesH7836 for a preyH2964: the wildernessH6160 yieldeth foodH3899 for them and for their childrenH5288.
They reapH7114+H7114 every one his cornH1098 in the fieldH7704: and they gatherH3953 the vintageH3754 of the wickedH7563. {corn: Heb. mingled corn, or, dredge} {they gather…: Heb. the wicked gather the vintage}
They cause the nakedH6174 to lodgeH3885 without clothingH3830, that they have no coveringH3682 in the coldH7135.
They are wetH7372 with the showersH2230 of the mountainsH2022, and embraceH2263 the rockH6697 for want of a shelterH4268.
They pluckH1497 the fatherlessH3490 from the breastH7699, and take a pledgeH2254 of the poorH6041.
They cause him to goH1980 nakedH6174 without clothingH3830, and they take awayH5375 the sheafH6016 from the hungryH7457;
Which make oilH6671 withinH996 their wallsH7791, and treadH1869 their winepressesH3342, and suffer thirstH6770.
MenH4962 groanH5008 from out of the cityH5892, and the soulH5315 of the woundedH2491 crieth outH7768: yet GodH433 layethH7760 not follyH8604 to them.
They are of those that rebelH4775 against the lightH216; they knowH5234 not the waysH1870 thereof, nor abideH3427 in the pathsH5410 thereof.
The murdererH7523 risingH6965 with the lightH216 killethH6991 the poorH6041 and needyH34, and in the nightH3915 is as a thiefH1590.
The eyeH5869 also of the adultererH5003 waitethH8104 for the twilightH5399, sayingH559, No eyeH5869 shall seeH7789 me: and disguisethH5643+H7760 his faceH6440. {disguiseth…: Heb. setteth his face in secret}
In the darkH2822 they dig throughH2864 housesH1004, which they had markedH2856 for themselves in the daytimeH3119: they knowH3045 not the lightH216.
For the morningH1242 is to them even asH3162 the shadow of deathH6757: if one knowH5234 them, they are in the terrorsH1091 of the shadow of deathH6757.
He is swiftH7031 as the watersH6440+H4325; their portionH2513 is cursedH7043 in the earthH776: he beholdethH6437 not the wayH1870 of the vineyardsH3754.
DroughtH6723 and heatH2527 consumeH1497 the snowH7950 watersH4325: so doth the graveH7585 those which have sinnedH2398. {consume: Heb. violently take}
The wombH7358 shall forgetH7911 him; the wormH7415 shall feed sweetlyH4988 on him; he shall be no more rememberedH2142; and wickednessH5766 shall be brokenH7665 as a treeH6086.
He evil entreatethH7462 the barrenH6135 that bearethH3205 not: and doeth not goodH3190 to the widowH490.
He drawethH4900 also the mightyH47 with his powerH3581: he riseth upH6965, and no man is sureH539 of lifeH2416. {no…: or, he trusteth not his own life}
Though it be givenH5414 him to be in safetyH983, whereon he restethH8172; yet his eyesH5869 are upon their waysH1870.
They are exaltedH7426 for a little whileH4592, but are gone and brought lowH4355; they are taken outH7092 of the wayH1870 as all other, and cut offH5243 as the topsH7218 of the ears of cornH7641. {are gone: Heb. are not} {taken…: Heb. closed up}
And if it be not so nowH645, who will makeH7760 me a liarH3576, and makeH7760 my speechH4405 nothing worthH408?
