MSB(i)
2 Men move boundary stones; they pasture stolen flocks.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless and take the widow’s ox in pledge.
4 They push the needy off the road and force all the poor of the land into hiding.
5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go to work foraging for food; the wasteland is food for their children.
6 They gather fodder in the fields and glean the vineyards of the wicked.
7 Without clothing, they spend the night naked; they have no covering against the cold.
8 Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.
9 The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.
10 Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives within their walls; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
12 From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.
13 Then there are those who rebel against the light, not knowing its ways or staying on its paths.
14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.
15 The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.
