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.
10 So the poor go around naked without any clothes;they carry bundles of grain but still go hungry;
11 they crush olives to get oiland grapes to get wine, but they still go thirsty.
