3 They chase away the orphan’s donkey.And they take the widow’s ox when she cannot pay what she owes.
4 They push needy people off the path.So all the poor people of the land hide from them.
5 The poor become like wild donkeys in the desert.They go about their job of finding food.The desert gives them food for their children.
6 They gather hay and straw in the fields.And they pick up leftover grapes from the evil man’s vineyard.
7 They spend the night naked, because they have no clothes.They have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.
8 They are soaked from mountain rains.They stay near the large rocks because they have no shelter.
9 The child who has no father is grabbed from its mother’s breast.They take a poor mother’s baby to pay for what she owes.
