1 Wherefore were not times hidden from the Almighty? and they knowing him saw not his days. 2 They will remove the bound; they will strip off the flock, and they will feed. 3 They will lead away the ass of the orphans, and they will take for pledge, the widow's ox. 4 They will turn the needy from the Way: the poor of the earth hid themselves together. 5 Behold, wild asses in the desert will go forth in their work, seeking for prey: the sterile region bread for him, and for the young. 6 In the field they will harvest his meslin, and they will glean the vintage of the unjust one. 7 They will cause the naked to lodge without clothing, and no covering in the cold. 8 They will be wet from the pouring rains of the mountains, and they embraced the rock from no shelter.
