For he performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and many such [things are] with him.
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
[Some] remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed [thereof].
They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
Behold, [as] wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] food for them [and] for [their] children.
They reap [every one] his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
