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.
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that [they have] no covering in the cold.
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
They cause [him] to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf [from] the hungry;
[Which] make oil within their walls, [and] tread [their] winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly [to them].
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
