1. Why doesn’t the Almighty establish times for punishment?Why can’t those who know him see his days?
2. People move boundary stones,herd flocks they’ve stolen,
3. drive off an orphan’s donkey,take a widow’s ox as collateral,
4. thrust the poor out of the way,make the land’s needy hide together.
5. They are like the wild donkeys in the desert;they go forth at dawn searching for prey;the wasteland is food for their young.
6. They gather their food in the field,glean in unproductive vineyards,
7. spend the night naked, unclothed,in the cold without a cover,
8. wet from mountain rains,with no refuge, huddled against a rock.
9. The orphan is stolen from the breast;the infant of the poor is taken as collateral.
