MLV(i)
2 There are men who remove the landmarks. They take away flocks violently and feed them.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless. 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 forth to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their sons. 6 They cut their fodder in the field and they glean the vintage 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 want of a shelter.
9 There are men who pluck the fatherless from the breast and take a pledge of the poor, 10 so that they go about naked without clothing and being hungry they carry the sheaves. 11 They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread their winepresses and suffer thirst. 12 From out of the populous city men groan and the soul of the wounded cries out. Yet God does not regard the foolishness.
13 These are of those who rebel against the light. They do not know the ways of it, nor abide in the paths of it. 14 The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. And in the night he is as a thief. 15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye will see me. And he disguises his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They do not know the light.
