¹ "Why doesn't the Almighty bring the wicked to judgment?
    Why must the godly wait for him in vain?
² Evil people steal land by moving the boundary markers.
    They steal livestock and put them in their own pastures.
³ They take the orphan's donkey
    and demand the widow's ox as security for a loan.
⁴ The poor are pushed off the path;
    the needy must hide together for safety.
⁵ Like wild donkeys in the wilderness,
    the poor must spend all their time looking for food,
    searching even in the desert for food for their children.
⁶ They harvest a field they do not own,
    and they glean in the vineyards of the wicked.
⁷ All night they lie naked in the cold,
    without clothing or covering.
⁸ They are soaked by mountain showers,
    and they huddle against the rocks for want of a home.

⁹ "The wicked snatch a widow's child from her breast,
    taking the baby as security for a loan.
¹⁰ The poor must go about naked, without any clothing.
    They harvest food for others while they themselves are starving.
¹¹ They press out olive oil without being allowed to taste it,
    and they tread in the winepress as they suffer from thirst.
¹² The groans of the dying rise from the city,
    and the wounded cry for help,
    yet God ignores their moaning.

¹³ "Wicked people rebel against the light.
    They refuse to acknowledge its ways
    or stay in its paths.
¹⁴ The murderer rises in the early dawn
    to kill the poor and needy;
    at night he is a thief.
¹⁵ The adulterer waits for the twilight,
    saying, ‘No one will see me then.'
    He hides his face so no one will know him.
¹⁶ Thieves break into houses at night
    and sleep in the daytime.
    They are not acquainted with the light.
¹⁷ The black night is their morning.
    They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness.

¹⁸ "But they disappear like foam down a river.
    Everything they own is cursed,
    and they are afraid to enter their own vineyards.
¹⁹ The grave^[a] consumes sinners
    just as drought and heat consume snow.
²⁰ Their own mothers will forget them.
    Maggots will find them sweet to eat.
No one will remember them.
    Wicked people are broken like a tree in the storm.
²¹ They cheat the woman who has no son to help her.
    They refuse to help the needy widow.

²² "God, in his power, drags away the rich.
    They may rise high, but they have no assurance of life.
²³ They may be allowed to live in security,
    but God is always watching them.
²⁴ And though they are great now,
    in a moment they will be gone like all others,
    cut off like heads of grain.
²⁵ Can anyone claim otherwise?
    Who can prove me wrong?"
