1 מַדּוּעַ מִשַּׁדַּי לֹא־נִצְפְּנוּ עִתִּים [וְיֹדְעֹו כ] (וְיֹדְעָיו ק) לֹא־חָזוּ יָמָיו1 Why does Shaddai not make known the times he has fixed; why do his faithful never see his Days?
2 גְּבֻלֹות יַשִּׂיגוּ עֵדֶר גָּזְלוּ וַיִּרְעוּ2 The wicked move boundary-marks away, they carry off flock and shepherd.
3 חֲמֹור יְתֹומִים יִנְהָגוּ יַחְבְּלוּ שֹׁור אַלְמָנָה3 They drive away the orphan's donkey, as security, they seize the widow's ox.
4 יַטּוּ אֶבְיֹונִים מִדָּרֶךְ יַחַד חֻבְּאוּ עֲנִיֵּי־אָרֶץ4 The needy have to keep out of the way, poor country people have to keep out of sight.
5 הֵן פְּרָאִים ׀ בַּמִּדְבָּר יָצְאוּ בְּפָעֳלָם מְשַׁחֲרֵי לַטָּרֶף עֲרָבָה לֹו לֶחֶם לַנְּעָרִים5 Like wild desert donkeys, they go out to work, searching from dawn for food, and at evening forsomething on which to feed their children.
6 בַּשָּׂדֶה בְּלִילֹו [יַקְצִירוּ כ] (יִקְצֹורוּ ק) וְכֶרֶם רָשָׁע יְלַקֵּשׁוּ6 They go harvesting in the field of some scoundrel, they go pilfering in the vineyards of the wicked.
7 עָרֹום יָלִינוּ מִבְּלִי לְבוּשׁ וְאֵין כְּסוּת בַּקָּרָה7 They spend the night naked, lacking clothes, with no covering against the cold.
8 מִזֶּרֶם הָרִים יִרְטָבוּ וּמִבְּלִי מַחְסֶה חִבְּקוּ־צוּר8 Mountain rainstorms cut them through, unsheltered, they hug the rocks.
9 יִגְזְלוּ מִשֹּׁד יָתֹום וְעַל־עָנִי יַחְבֹּלוּ9 The orphan child is torn from the breast, the child of the poor is exacted as security.
10 עָרֹום הִלְּכוּ בְּלִי לְבוּשׁ וּרְעֵבִים נָשְׂאוּ עֹמֶר10 They go about naked, lacking clothes, and starving while they carry the sheaves.
11 בֵּין־שׁוּרֹתָם יַצְהִירוּ יְקָבִים דָּרְכוּ וַיִּצְמָאוּ11 Two little wal s, their shelter at high noon; parched with thirst, they have to tread the winepress.
12 מֵעִיר מְתִים ׀ יִנְאָקוּ וְנֶפֶשׁ־חֲלָלִים תְּשַׁוֵּעַ וֶאֱלֹוהַּ לֹא־יָשִׂים תִּפְלָה12 From the towns come the groans of the dying and the gasp of the wounded crying for help. Yet Godremains deaf to prayer!
13 הֵמָּה ׀ הָיוּ בְּמֹרְדֵי־אֹור לֹא־הִכִּירוּ דְרָכָיו וְלֹא יָשְׁבוּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָיו13 In contrast, there are those who reject the light: who know nothing of its ways and who do notfrequent its paths.
14 לָאֹור יָקוּם רֹוצֵחַ יִקְטָל־עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון וּבַלַּיְלָה יְהִי כַגַּנָּב14 When all is dark the murderer leaves his bed to kil the poor and needy. During the night the thiefgoes on the prowl,
15 וְעֵין נֹאֵף ׀ שָׁמְרָה נֶשֶׁף לֵאמֹר לֹא־תְשׁוּרֵנִי עָיִן וְסֵתֶר פָּנִים יָשִׂים15 The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight, 'No one wil see me,' he mutters as he masks his face.Inthe daytime they keep out of sight, these people who do not want to know the light.
16 חָתַר בַּחֹשֶׁךְ בָּתִּים יֹומָם חִתְּמוּ־לָמֹו לֹא־יָדְעוּ אֹור16 breaking into houses while the darkness lasts.
17 כִּי יַחְדָּו ׀ בֹּקֶר לָמֹו צַלְמָוֶת כִּי־יַכִּיר בַּלְהֹות צַלְמָוֶת17 For al of them, morning is a time of shadow dark as death, since that is when they know what fear is.
18 קַל־הוּא ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי־מַיִם תְּקֻלַּל חֶלְקָתָם בָּאָרֶץ לֹא־יִפְנֶה דֶּרֶךְ כְּרָמִים18
19 צִיָּה גַם־חֹם יִגְזְלוּ מֵימֵי־שֶׁלֶג שְׁאֹול חָטָאוּ19
20 יִשְׁכָּחֵהוּ רֶחֶם ׀ מְתָקֹו רִמָּה עֹוד לֹא־יִזָּכֵר וַתִּשָּׁבֵר כָּעֵץ עַוְלָה20
21 רֹעֶה עֲקָרָה לֹא תֵלֵד וְאַלְמָנָה לֹא יְיֵטִיב21
22 וּמָשַׁךְ אַבִּירִים בְּכֹחֹו יָקוּם וְלֹא־יַאֲמִין בַּחַיִּין22
23 יִתֶּן־לֹו לָבֶטַח וְיִשָּׁעֵן וְעֵינֵיהוּ עַל־דַּרְכֵיהֶם23
24 רֹומּוּ מְּעַט ׀ וְאֵינֶנּוּ וְהֻמְּכוּ כַּכֹּל יִקָּפְצוּן וּכְרֹאשׁ שִׁבֹּלֶת יִמָּלוּ24
25 וְאִם־לֹא אֵפֹו מִי יַכְזִיבֵנִי וְיָשֵׂם לְאַל מִלָּתִי׃ ס25 Is this not so? Who can prove me a liar or show that my words have no substance?
