1Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, Why do those who know Him see not His days?1מַדּ֗וּעַ מִ֭שַּׁדַּי לֹא־ נִצְפְּנ֣וּ עִתִּ֑ים [וידעו] (וְ֝יֹדְעָ֗יו) לֹא־ חָ֥זוּ יָמָֽיו׃
2Some remove landmarks; They seize flocks violently and feed on them;2גְּבֻל֥וֹת יַשִּׂ֑יגוּ עֵ֥דֶר גָּ֝זְל֗וּ וַיִּרְעֽוּ׃
3They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox as a pledge.3חֲמ֣וֹר יְתוֹמִ֣ים יִנְהָ֑גוּ יַ֝חְבְּל֗וּ שׁ֣וֹר אַלְמָנָֽה׃
4They push the needy off the road; All the poor of the land are forced to hide.4יַטּ֣וּ אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים מִדָּ֑רֶךְ יַ֥חַד חֻ֝בְּא֗וּ עֲנִיֵּי־ אָֽרֶץ׃
5Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, They go out to their work, searching for food. The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.5הֵ֤ן פְּרָאִ֨ים ׀ בַּֽמִּדְבָּ֗ר יָצְא֣וּ בְּ֭פָעֳלָם מְשַׁחֲרֵ֣י לַטָּ֑רֶף עֲרָבָ֥ה ל֥וֹ לֶ֝֗חֶם לַנְּעָרִֽים׃
6They gather their fodder in the field And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.6בַּ֭שָּׂדֶה בְּלִיל֣וֹ [יקצירו] (יִקְצ֑וֹרוּ) וְכֶ֖רֶם רָשָׁ֣ע יְלַקֵּֽשׁוּ׃
7They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.7עָר֣וֹם יָ֭לִינוּ מִבְּלִ֣י לְב֑וּשׁ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת בַּקָּרָֽה׃
8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And huddle around the rock for want of shelter.8מִזֶּ֣רֶם הָרִ֣ים יִרְטָ֑בוּ וּֽמִבְּלִ֥י מַ֝חְסֶ֗ה חִבְּקוּ־ צֽוּר׃
9Some snatch the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge from the poor.9יִ֭גְזְלוּ מִשֹּׁ֣ד יָת֑וֹם וְֽעַל־ עָנִ֥י יַחְבֹּֽלוּ׃
10They cause the poor to go naked, without clothing; And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.10עָר֣וֹם הִ֭לְּכוּ בְּלִ֣י לְב֑וּשׁ וּ֝רְעֵבִ֗ים נָ֣שְׂאוּ עֹֽמֶר׃
11They press out oil within their walls, And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst.11בֵּין־ שׁוּרֹתָ֥ם יַצְהִ֑ירוּ יְקָבִ֥ים דָּ֝רְכ֗וּ וַיִּצְמָֽאוּ׃
12The dying groan in the city, And the souls of the wounded cry out; Yet God does not charge them with wrong.12מֵ֘עִ֤יר מְתִ֨ים ׀ יִנְאָ֗קוּ וְנֶֽפֶשׁ־ חֲלָלִ֥ים תְּשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וֶ֝אֱל֗וֹהַּ לֹא־ יָשִׂ֥ים תִּפְלָֽה׃
13“There are those who rebel against the light; They do not know its ways Nor abide in its paths.13הֵ֤מָּה ׀ הָיוּ֮ בְּֽמֹרְדֵ֫י־ א֥וֹר לֹֽא־ הִכִּ֥ירוּ דְרָכָ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָֽיו׃
14The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; And in the night he is like a thief.14לָא֡וֹר יָ֘ק֤וּם רוֹצֵ֗חַ יִֽקְטָל־ עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְי֑וֹן וּ֝בַלַּ֗יְלָה יְהִ֣י כַגַּנָּֽב׃
15The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, ‘No eye will see me’; And he disguises his face.15וְעֵ֤ין נֹאֵ֨ף ׀ שָׁ֤מְרָֽה נֶ֣שֶׁף לֵ֭אמֹר לֹא־ תְשׁוּרֵ֣נִי עָ֑יִן וְסֵ֖תֶר פָּנִ֣ים יָשִֽׂים׃
16In the dark they break into houses Which they marked for themselves in the daytime; They do not know the light.16חָתַ֥ר בַּחֹ֗שֶׁךְ בָּ֫תִּ֥ים יוֹמָ֥ם חִתְּמוּ־ לָ֗מוֹ לֹא־ יָ֥דְעוּ אֽוֹר׃
17For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them, They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.17כִּ֤י יַחְדָּ֨ו ׀ בֹּ֣קֶר לָ֣מוֹ צַלְמָ֑וֶת כִּֽי־ יַ֝כִּ֗יר בַּלְה֥וֹת צַלְמָֽוֶת׃
18“They should be swift on the face of the waters, Their portion should be cursed in the earth, So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.18קַֽל־ ה֤וּא ׀ עַל־ פְּנֵי־ מַ֗יִם תְּקֻלַּ֣ל חֶלְקָתָ֣ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ לֹֽא־ יִ֝פְנֶה דֶּ֣רֶךְ כְּרָמִֽים׃
19As drought and heat consume the snow waters, So the grave consumes those who have sinned.19צִיָּ֤ה גַם־ חֹ֗ם יִגְזְל֥וּ מֵֽימֵי־ שֶׁ֗לֶג שְׁא֣וֹל חָטָֽאוּ׃
20The womb should forget him, The worm should feed sweetly on him; He should be remembered no more, And wickedness should be broken like a tree.20יִשְׁכָּ֘חֵ֤הוּ רֶ֨חֶם ׀ מְתָ֘ק֤וֹ רִמָּ֗ה ע֥וֹד לֹֽא־ יִזָּכֵ֑ר וַתִּשָּׁבֵ֖ר כָּעֵ֣ץ עַוְלָֽה׃
21For he preys on the barren who do not bear, And does no good for the widow.21רֹעֶ֣ה עֲ֭קָרָה לֹ֣א תֵלֵ֑ד וְ֝אַלְמָנָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְיֵטִֽיב׃
22“But God draws the mighty away with His power; He rises up, but no man is sure of life.22וּמָשַׁ֣ךְ אַבִּירִ֣ים בְּכֹח֑וֹ יָ֝ק֗וּם וְֽלֹא־ יַאֲמִ֥ין בַּֽחַיִּֽין׃
23He gives them security, and they rely on it; Yet His eyes are on their ways.23יִתֶּן־ ל֣וֹ לָ֭בֶטַח וְיִשָּׁעֵ֑ן וְ֝עֵינֵ֗יהוּ עַל־ דַּרְכֵיהֶֽם׃
24They are exalted for a little while, Then they are gone. They are brought low; They are taken out of the way like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain.24ר֤וֹמּוּ מְּעַ֨ט ׀ וְֽאֵינֶ֗נּוּ וְֽהֻמְּכ֗וּ כַּכֹּ֥ל יִקָּפְצ֑וּן וּכְרֹ֖אשׁ שִׁבֹּ֣לֶת יִמָּֽלוּ׃
25“Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech worth nothing?”25וְאִם־ לֹ֣א אֵ֭פוֹ מִ֣י יַכְזִיבֵ֑נִי וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְ֝אַ֗ל מִלָּתִֽי׃ ס
