3 They chase away the orphan’s donkeyand take the widow’s ox when she has no money.
4 They push needy people off the path;all the poor of the land hide from them.
5 The poor become like wild donkeys in the desertwho go about their job of finding food.The desert gives them food for their children.
6 They gather hay and straw in the fieldsand pick up leftover grapes from the vineyard of the wicked.
7 They spend the night naked, because they have no clothes,nothing to cover themselves in the cold.
8 They are soaked from mountain rainsand stay near the large rocks because they have no shelter.
9 The fatherless child is grabbed from its mother’s breast;they take a poor mother’s baby to pay for what she owes.
