Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; {N} the desert yieldeth them bread for their children.

בַּ֭שָּׂדֶה בְּלִיל֣וֹ יִקְצ֑וֹרוּ יקצירו וְכֶ֖רֶם רָשָׁ֣ע יְלַקֵּֽשׁוּ׃

They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
|

מִזֶּ֣רֶם הָרִ֣ים יִרְטָ֑בוּ וּֽמִבְּלִ֥י מַ֝חְסֶ֗ה חִבְּקוּ־צֽוּר׃

They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor;

So that they go about naked without clothing, and being hungry they carry the sheaves;
|

בֵּין־שׁוּרֹתָ֥ם יַצְהִ֑ירוּ יְקָבִ֥ים דָּ֝רְכ֗וּ וַיִּצְמָֽאוּ׃

They make oil within the rows of these men; they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; {N} yet God imputeth it not for unseemliness.

הֵ֤מָּה ׀ הָיוּ֮ בְּֽמֹרְדֵ֫י־א֥וֹר לֹֽא־הִכִּ֥ירוּ דְרָכָ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָֽיו׃

These are of them that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
|

לָא֡וֹר יָ֘ק֤וּם רוֹצֵ֗חַ יִֽקְטָל־עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְי֑וֹן וּ֝בַלַּ֗יְלָה יְהִ֣י כַגַּנָּֽב׃

In the dark they dig through houses; they shut themselves up in the day-time; they know not the light.

The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; {N} and unrighteousness is broken as a tree.

He draweth away the mighty also by his power; he riseth up, and he trusteth not his own life.

They are exalted for a little while, and they are gone; yea, they are brought low, they are gathered in as all others, {N} and wither as the tops of the ears of corn.
