< Previous  Home  Next >

1: Why do,H4069 from the AlmightyH7706 notH3808 are hiddenH6845 [Since] timesH6256 those who know HimH3045 notH3808 seeH2372 His days?H3117

2: landmarks-H1367 [Some] removeH5381 flocks,H5739 they seize violentlyH1497 and feed [on them].H7462

3: The donkeyH2543 of the fatherless,H3490 they drive awayH5090 they take as a pledgeH2254 the oxH7794 of widow.H0490

4: They pushH5186 the needyH0034 off the road-H1870 all.H3162 Are forced to hideH2244 the poorH6035 of the land.H0776

5: Indeed,H2005 [like] wild donkeysH6501 in the desert,H4057 they go outH3318 to their work-H6467 searchingH7836 for food-H2964 the wilderness [yields]H6160 foodH3899 [and] for [their] children.H5288

6: In the field-H7704 their fodderH1098 they gatherH7114 and in the vineyardH3754 of the wickedH7563 glean.H3953

7: NakedH6174 they spend the nightH3885 withoutH1097 clothing,H3830 and noH0369 have coveringH3682 in the cold.H7135

8: With the showersH2230 of the mountains,H2022 they are wetH7372 and for wantH1097 of shelterH4268 huddle aroundH2263 the rock.H6697

9: [Some] snatchH1497 from the breast,H7699 the fatherlessH3490 and fromH5764 the poorH6041 take a pledge.H2254

10: NakedH6174 they cause [the poor] to goH1980 withoutH1097 clothing,H3830 and from the hungryH7456 they take awayH5375 the sheaves.H6016

11: WithinH0996 their walls,H7791 they press out oilH6671 winepresses,H3342 and treadH1869 and yet suffer thirst.H6770

12: In the city,H5892 the dyingH4962 groanH5008 and the soulsH5315 of the woundedH2491 cry out-H7768 and yet GodH0433 notH3808 does charge [them]H7760 with wrong.H8604

13: TheyH1992 areH1961 those who rebel againstH4775 the light-H0216 notH3808 they do knowH5234 its waysH1870 norH3808 abideH3427 in its paths.H5410

14: With the lightH0216 risesH6965 the murdererH7523 He killsH6991 the poorH6041 and needy,H0034 and in the nightH3915 he isH1961 like a thief.H1590

15: And the eyeH5869 of the adultererH5003 waits forH8104 the twilight,H5399 Saying,H0559 NoH3808 will see meH7789 eyeH5869 and he disguisesH5643 [his] faceH6440 and disguises.H7760

16: They break intoH2864 in the darkH2822 houses,H1004 in the daytime-H3119 which they markedH2856 notH3808 they do knowH3045 the light.H0216

17: ForH3588 is the sameH3162 the morningH1242 as the shadow of death-H6757 ifH3588 [someone] recognizes [them]H5234 [They are in] the terrorsH1091 of the shadow of death.H6757

18: SwiftH7031 He [should be]H1931 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the waters-H4325 [should be] cursedH7043 their portionH2513 in the earth.H0776 [So that] no [one]H3808 [would] turnH6437 into the wayH1870 of their vineyards.H3754

19: As droughtH6723 andH1571 heatH2527 consumeH1497 the waters,H4325 snowH7950 [So] the graveH7585 [consumes those who] have sinned.H2398

20: [should] forget himH7911 the wombH7358 [should] feed sweetly on himH4988 the wormH7415 moreH5750 noH3808 He [should] be remembered-H2142 and [should] be brokenH7665 like a treeH6086 wickedness.H5766

21: For he preysH7462 on the barrenH6135 not-H3808 [who] do bearH3205 and for the widowH0490 noH3808 does good.H3190

22: But God draws awayH4900 the mightyH0047 with His power-H3581 He rises up,H6965 but no [man]H3808 is sureH0539 of life.H2416

23: He givesH5414 security,H0983 and they rely [on it]-H8172 and yet His eyes [are]H5869 onH5921 their ways.H1870

24: They are exaltedH7426 for a little while,H4592 and they [are] no [more]H0369 and they are brought low-H4355 like all [others]H3605 they are taken out of the wayH7092 and like the headsH7218 of grainH7641 they dry out.H5243

25: And ifH0518 [it is] not [so]H3808 -,H0645 whoH4310 will prove me a liar,H3576 and make worthH7760 nothingH0408 my speech.H4405
