241Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?+2Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed
thereof.+3They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.+4They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.+5Behold,
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.+6They reap
every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.+7They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that
they have
no covering in the cold.+8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.+9They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.+10They cause
him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf
from the hungry;+11Which make oil within their walls,
and tread
their winepresses, and suffer thirst.+12Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly
to them.+13They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.+14The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.+15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth
his face.+16In the dark they dig through houses,
which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.+17For the morning
is to them even as the shadow of death: if
one know
them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.+18He
is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.+19Drought and heat consume the snow waters:
so doth the grave
those which have sinned.+20The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.+21He evil entreateth the barren that
beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.+22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no
man is sure of life.+23Though it be given him
to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes
are upon their ways.+24They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all
other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.+25And if
it be not
so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?+
