There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
3
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, And they take the widow`s ox for a pledge.
4
They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5
Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
6
They cut their provender in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7
They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.
8
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
9
There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor,
10
So that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
11
They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
12
From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, Yet God doesn`t regard the folly.
