¹ “Why does the Almighty not set times for judgment? Why must those who know him look in vain for such days? ² There are those who move boundary stones; they pasture flocks they have stolen. ³ They drive away the orphan`s donkey and take the widow`s ox in pledge. ⁴ They thrust the needy from the path and force all the poor of the land into hiding. ⁵ Like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go about their labor of foraging food; the wasteland provides food for their children. ⁶ They gather fodder in the fields and glean in the vineyards of the wicked. ⁷ Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked; they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold. ⁸ They are drenched by mountain rains and hug the rocks for lack of shelter.
