5. Lo, as wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness yieldeth them food for their children.
6. They reap in the field the fodder thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wicked;
7. They pass the night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;
8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and for want of a shelter embrace the rock...
9. They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor:
10. These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;
11. They press out oil within their walls, they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12. Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; and +God imputeth not the impiety.
13. There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14. The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
