[1] “Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty?
Why don’t those who know him see his days?
[2] There are people who remove the landmarks.
They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
[3] They drive away the donkey of the fatherless,
and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
[4] They turn the needy out of the way.
The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
[5] Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,
they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food.
The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
[6] They cut their food in the field.
They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
[7] They lie all night naked without clothing,
and have no covering in the cold.
[8] They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
[9] There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast,
and take a pledge of the poor,
[10] so that they go around naked without clothing.
Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
[11] They make oil within the walls of these men.
They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
[12] From out of the populous city, men groan.
The soul of the wounded cries out,
yet God doesn’t regard the folly. [13] “These are of those who rebel against the light.
They don’t know its ways,
nor stay in its paths.
[14] The murderer rises with the light.
He kills the poor and needy.
In the night he is like a thief.
[15] The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
He disguises his face.
[16] In the dark they dig through houses.
They shut themselves up in the daytime.
They don’t know the light.
[17] For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness,
for they know the terrors of the thick darkness. [18] “They are foam on the surface of the waters.
Their portion is cursed on the earth.
They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
[19] Drought and heat consume the snow waters,
so does Sheolⓘ those who have sinned.
[20] The womb will forget him.
The worm will feed sweetly on him.
He will be no more remembered.
Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
[21] He devours the barren who don’t bear.
He shows no kindness to the widow.
[22] Yet God preserves the mighty by his power.
He rises up who has no assurance of life.
[23] God gives them security, and they rest in it.
His eyes are on their ways.
[24] They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone.
Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others,
and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
[25] If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar,
and make my speech worth nothing?”

King James Version
[1] Why, seeing times H6256 are not hidden H6845 from the Almighty, H7706
Do they that know H3045 him not see H2372 his days? H3117
[2] Some remove H5381 the landmarks; H1367
They violently take away H1497 flocks, H5739 and feed H7462 thereof.§
[3] They drive away H5090 the ass H2543 of the fatherless, H3490
They take H2254 the widow’s H490 ox H7794 for a pledge. H2254
[4] They turn H5186 the needy H34 out of the way: H1870
The poor H6041 H6035 of the earth H776 hide H2244 themselves together. H3162
[5] Behold, as wild asses H6501 in the desert, H4057
Go they forth H3318 to their work; H6467 rising betimes H7836 for a prey: H2964
The wilderness H6160 yieldeth food H3899 for them and for their children. H5288
[6] They reap H7114 H7114 every one his corn H1098§ in the field: H7704
And they gather H3953 the vintage H3754 of the wicked. H7563§
[7] They cause the naked H6174 to lodge H3885 without clothing, H3830
That they have no covering H3682 in the cold. H7135
[8] They are wet H7372 with the showers H2230 of the mountains, H2022
And embrace H2263 the rock H6697 for want of a shelter. H4268
[9] They pluck H1497 the fatherless H3490 from the breast, H7699
And take a pledge H2254 of the poor. H6041
[10] They cause him to go H1980 naked H6174 without clothing, H3830
And they take away H5375 the sheaf H6016 from the hungry; H7457
[11] Which make oil H6671 within H996 their walls, H7791
And tread H1869 their winepresses, H3342 and suffer thirst. H6770
[12] Men H4962 groan H5008 from out of the city, H5892
And the soul H5315 of the wounded H2491 crieth out: H7768
Yet God H433 layeth H7760 not H3808 folly H8604 to them.
[13] They are of those that rebel H4775 against the light; H216
They know H5234 not H3808 the ways H1870 thereof,
Nor abide H3427 in the paths H5410 thereof.
[14] The murderer H7523 rising H6965 with the light H216 killeth H6991 the poor H6041 and needy, H34
And in the night H3915 is as a thief. H1590
[15] The eye H5869 also of the adulterer H5003 waiteth H8104 for the twilight, H5399
Saying, H559 No eye H5869 shall see H7789 me:
And disguiseth H5643 H7760 his face. H6440§
[16] In the dark H2822 they dig through H2864 houses, H1004
Which they had marked H2856 for themselves in the daytime: H3119
They know H3045 not H3808 the light. H216
[17] For H3588 the morning H1242 is to them even as H3162 the shadow of death: H6757
If one know H5234 them, they are in the terrors H1091 of the shadow of death. H6757
[18] He is swift H7031 as the waters; H6440
H4325 Their portion H2513 is cursed H7043 in the earth: H776
He beholdeth H6437 not H3808 the way H1870 of the vineyards. H3754
[19] Drought H6723 and heat H2527 consume H1497§ the snow H7950 waters: H4325
So doth the grave H7585 those which have sinned. H2398
[20] The womb H7358 shall forget H7911 him; the worm H7415 shall feed sweetly H4988 on him;
He shall be no more remembered; H2142
And wickedness H5766 shall be broken H7665 as a tree. H6086
[21] He evil entreateth H7462 the barren H6135 that beareth H3205 not:
And doeth not good H3190 to the widow. H490
[22] He draweth H4900 also the mighty H47 with his power: H3581
He riseth up, H6965 and no man is sure H539 of life. H2416§
[23] Though it be given H5414 him to be in safety, H983 whereon he resteth; H8172
Yet his eyes H5869 are upon their ways. H1870
[24] They are exalted H7426 for a little while, H4592 but are gone§
And brought low; H4355 they are taken out H7092§ of the way H1870 as all other,
And cut off H5243 as the tops H7218 of the ears of corn. H7641
[25] And if it be not so now, H645 who will make H7760 me a liar, H3576
And make H7760 my speech H4405 nothing worth? H408

[4] Ἐξέκλιναν G1578 ἀδυνάτους G102 ἐξ G1537 ὁδοῦ G3598 δικαίας, G1342 ὁμοθυμαδὸν G3661 ἐκρύβησαν G2928 πραεῖς γῆς. G1093 [5] Ἀπέβησαν G576 δὲ G1161 ὥσπερ G5618 ὄνοι G3688 ἐν G1722 ἀγρῷ G68 ὑπὲρ G5228 ἐμοῦ G1699 ἐξελθόντες G1831 τὴν G3588 ἑαυτῶν G1438 πρᾶξιν· G4234 ἡδύνθη αὐτῷ G846 ἄρτος G740 εἰς G1519 νεωτέρους. G3501 [6] Ἀγρὸν G68 πρὸ G4253 ὥρας G5610 οὐκ G3756 αὐτῶν G846 ὄντα G5607 ἐθέρισαν· G2325 ἀδύνατοι G102 δὲ G1161 ἀμπελῶνας G290 ἀσεβῶν G765 ἀμισθὶ καὶ G2532 ἀσιτὶ ἠργάσαντο. G2038 [7] Γυμνοὺς G1131 πολλοὺς G4183 ἐκοίμισαν ἄνευ G427 ἱματίων, G2440 ἀμφίασιν δὲ G1161 ψυχῆς G5590 αὐτῶν G846 ἀφείλαντο.

G4016 [9] Ἥρπασαν G726 ὀρφανὸν G3737 ἀπὸ G575 μαστοῦ, G3149 ἐκπεπτωκότα G1601 δὲ G1161 ἐταπείνωσαν. G5013 [10] Γυμνοὺς G1131 δὲ G1161 ἐκοίμισαν ἀδίκως, G95 πεινώντων G3983 δὲ G1161 τὸν G3588 ψωμὸν ἀφείλαντο. G851 [11] Ἐν G1722 στενοῖς G4728 ἀδίκως G95 ἐνήδρευσαν, G1748 ὁδὸν G3598 δὲ G1161 δικαίαν G1342 οὐκ G3756 ᾔδεισαν. G1492 [12] Οἳ G3739 ἐκ G1537 πόλεως G4172 καὶ G2532 οἴκων G3624 ἰδίων G2398 ἐξεβάλλοντο, G1544 ψυχὴ G5590 δὲ G1161 νηπίων G3516 ἐστέναξεν G4727 μέγα, G3173 αὐτὸς G846 δὲ G1161 διὰ G1223 τί G5101 τούτων G5130 ἐπισκοπὴν G1984 οὐ G3756 πεποίηται; G4160 [13] Ἐπὶ G1909 γῆς G1093 ὄντων G5607 αὐτῶν G846 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἐπέγνωσαν, G1921 ὁδὸν G3598 δὲ G1161 δικαιοσύνης G1343 οὐκ G3756 ᾔδεισαν G1492 οὐδὲ G3761 ἀτραποὺς αὐτῆς G846 ἐπορεύθησαν. G4198 [14] Γνοὺς G1097 δὲ G1161 αὐτῶν G846 τὰ G3588 ἔργα G2041 παρέδωκεν G3860 αὐτοὺς G846 εἰς G1519 σκότος, G4655 καὶ G2532 νυκτὸς G3571 ἔσται G2071 ὡς G5613 κλέπτης. G2812 [15] Καὶ G2532 ὀφθαλμὸς G3788 μοιχοῦ G3432 ἐφύλαξεν G5442 σκότος G4655 λέγων G3004 Οὐ G3756 προσνοήσει με G3165 ὀφθαλμός, G3788 καὶ G2532 ἀποκρυβὴν προσώπου G4383 ἔθετο. G5087 [16] Διώρυξεν G1358 ἐν G1722 σκότει G4655 οἰκίας· G3614 ἡμέρας G2250 ἐσφράγισαν G4972 ἑαυτούς, G1438 οὐκ G3756 ἐπέγνωσαν G1921 φῶς· G5457 [17] ὅτι G3754 ὁμοθυμαδὸν G3661 τὸ G3588 πρωῒ G4404 αὐτοῖς G846 σκιὰ G4639 θανάτου, G2288 ὅτι G3754 ἐπιγνώσεται G1921 ταραχὰς G5016 σκιᾶς G4639 θανάτου.
