1 Why? from [the] Almighty not have they been stored up times (and [those who] know him *Q(K)*) not have they seen? days his.
Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?

3 [the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.

4 They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
They turn the needy out of the way: the afflicted of the land all hide themselves.
5 There! wild donkeys - in the wilderness they go forth in work their seeking for food a desert plain to it food for the children.
Lo, [as] wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] them food for [their] children.
6 In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
They reap in the field the fodder thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wicked;
7 Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.

8 From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.

9 People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor:
10 Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;
11 Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
They press out oil within their walls, they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; and God imputeth not the impiety.
13 They - they are among [those who] rebel against [the] light not they pay regard to ways its and not they dwell in paths its.
There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15 And [the] eye of an adulterer - it watches for twilight saying not it will observe me an eye and covering of face he puts.
And the eye of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and he putteth a covering on [his] face.
16 He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in; they know not the light:
17 For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 [is] swift He - on [the] surface of [the] waters it is cursed portion their in the land not anyone turns [the] direction of vineyards.
He is swift on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed on the earth: he turneth not unto the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Drought and heat consume snow waters; so doth Sheol those that have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 It forgets him [the] womb - it sucks on him maggot[s] again not he is remembered and it was broken like tree injustice.
The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him: he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree, —
21 [he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
He that despoileth the barren that beareth not, and doeth not good to the widow:
22 And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
He draweth also the mighty with his power; he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life.
23 He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
[God] setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted a little - and there not [is] he and they are brought low like everyone they are contracted! and like a head of grain they wither.
They are exalted for a little, and are no more; they are laid low; like all [other] are they gathered, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
If it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
