| 1 | Why, seeing Times are not hidden from the Almightie, doe they, that know him not, see his dayes? |
| 2 | Some remooue the land-markes; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. |
| 3 | They driue away the asse of the fatherlesse, they take the widowes oxe for a pledge. |
| 4 | They turne the needy out of the way: the poore of the earth hide themselues together. |
| 5 | Behold, as wilde asses in the desart, goe they foorth to their worke, rising betimes for a pray: the wildernes yeeldeth food for them, and for their children. |
| 6 | They reape euery one his corne in the fielde: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. |
| 7 | They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they haue no couering in the cold. |
| 8 | They are wet with the showres of the mountaines, and imbrace the rocke for want of a shelter. |
| 9 | They plucke the fatherlesse from the brest, and take a pledge of the poore. |
| 10 | They cause him to go naked without clothing: and they take away the sheafe from the hungry, |
| 11 | Which make oyle within their walles, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. |
| 12 | Men groane from out of the city, and the soule of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. |
| 13 | They are of those that rebell against the light, they know not the wayes thereof, nor abide in the pathes thereof. |
| 14 | The murderer rising with the light, killeth the poore and needy, and in the night is as a thiefe. |
| 15 | The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. |
| 16 | In the darke they digge through houses which they had marked for themselues in the day time: they know not the light. |
| 17 | For the morning is to them euen as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrours of the shadow of death. |
| 18 | Hee is swift as the waters, their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the Uineyards. |
| 19 | Drought and heate consume the snow waters: so doeth the graue those which haue sinned. |
| 20 | The wombe shall forget him, the worme shall feed sweetly on him, hee shall be no more remembred, and wickednes shalbe broken as a tree. |
| 21 | He euill intreateth the barren, that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. |
| 22 | He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth vp, and no man is sure of life. |
| 23 | Though it be giuen him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are vpon their wayes. |
| 24 | They are exalted for a litle while, but are gone and brought low, they are taken out of the way as al other, and cut off as the tops of the eares of corne. |
| 25 | And if it be not so now, who will make mee a liar, and make my speach nothing worth? |
