Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
“Why
does
the Almighty
not
reserve
times for
judgment?
Why
may
those who
know
Him never
see
His days ?
Wherefore
from
the Mighty
One
Times have
not
been
hidden,
And
those knowing
Him have
not
seen
His days .
Men
move
boundary
stones;
they pasture
stolen
flocks
.
The
borders
they reach,
A
drove
they
have
taken
violently
away,
Yea,
they
do
evil
.
They
drive
away
the donkey
of the fatherless and
take the
widow’s
ox
in pledge .
The ass
of the fatherless they
lead
away,
They
take in pledge the
ox
of
the
widow,
They push
the needy off
the road
and
force
all
the poor of the land
into
hiding
.
They turn
aside
the needy from
the way,
Together
have
hid
the poor of the earth
.
Indeed
, like
wild donkeys
in the
desert
, the
poor
go
to
work foraging
for food;
the
wasteland
is
food for their
children
.
Lo
, wild asses
in a
wilderness
, They
have
gone
out
about
their
work ,
Seeking
early
for prey,
A
mixture
for
himself
--
food for young
ones
.
They
gather
fodder
in the
fields
and glean
the vineyards
of the wicked.
In a
field
his
provender
they
reap,
And the vineyard
of the wicked they
glean
.
Without
clothing,
they
spend
the night
naked ;
they have
no covering against
the cold.
The naked they cause
to
lodge
Without
clothing.
And
there
is
no covering in
the cold.
Drenched
by
mountain
rains,
they
huddle
against
the rocks
for
want
of shelter
.
From
the inundation
of hills
they
are
wet,
And
without
a
refuge
--
have
embraced
a
rock
.
The
fatherless
infant
is
snatched
from the breast ;
the nursing
child
of
the poor is
seized
for
a debt
.
They
take
violently
away
From the breast the orphan,
And
on
the poor they
lay
a pledge
.
Without
clothing,
they
wander
about
naked .
They carry
the
sheaves
, but
still
go
hungry.
Naked ,
they have
gone
without
clothing
, And
hungry --
have
taken
away
a
sheaf
.
They
crush
olives
within
their walls ;
they tread
the
winepresses
, but
go
thirsty
.
Between
their walls they make
oil
, Wine-presses
they
have
trodden,
and
thirst
.
From
the
city,
men groan, and the souls
of the
wounded
cry out
, yet
God charges
no
one
with
wrongdoing
.
Because
of
enmity
men do
groan, And the soul
of pierced
ones
doth
cry, And
God doth
not
give
praise
.
Then
there
are
those
who
rebel
against
the
light, not knowing
its
ways or
staying
on
its
paths.
They
have
been
among
rebellious
ones
of
light, They
have
not discerned
His
ways ,
Nor
abode
in
His
paths.
When
daylight
is
gone,
the murderer rises
to
kill
the poor and needy ;
in the night he is like
a thief.
At
the light
doth
the
murderer rise,
He
doth
slay
the poor and needy ,
And
in the night he is as
a thief.
The eye of the
adulterer watches
for
twilight .
Thinking
, ‘
No eye will
see
me ,’
he covers
his
face.
And
the eye of an
adulterer Hath
observed
the
twilight, Saying,
`
No eye doth
behold
me .'
And
he putteth
the
face in
secret
.
In the dark
they
dig
through
houses; by day they shut themselves in
, never
to
experience
the
light.
He
hath
dug
in the darkness
--
houses; By day they shut themselves up
, They
have
not
known
light.
For
to them, deep
darkness
is
their
morning;
surely
they
are
friends
with
the terrors of darkness!
When
together,
morning
`is'
to them death
shade
, When
he
discerneth
the terrors of death
shade.
They
are
but
foam
on the surface
of the water;
their portion of
the land
is
cursed
, so
that
no
one
turns
toward
their
vineyards.
Light
he
`is'
on the face
of the waters,
Vilified
is
their portion in
the earth
, He
turneth
not
the
way
of
vineyards.
As
drought and
heat consume the
melting
snow, so
Sheol steals
those who have sinned.
Drought --
also
heat --
consume snow -waters
, Sheol `
those who '
have sinned.
The womb forgets
them;
the worm feeds
on
them;
they
are
remembered
no more .
So
injustice
is like
a
broken tree.
Forget
him
doth
the womb ,
Sweeten
`on'
him
doth
the worm ,
No more is he
remembered,
And
broken as
a
tree is
wickedness
.
They
prey
on
the barren and
childless
, and show
no
kindness
to the widow .
Treating
evil
the barren `who'
beareth
not
, And `
to '
the widow he
doth
no
good,
Yet
by His power, God
drags
away
the
mighty;
though
rising
up
, they
have
no
assurance
of
life.
And
hath
drawn
the
mighty
by his power, He
riseth
, and
none
believeth
in
life.
He gives
them
a
sense
of
security
, but
His eyes are on their ways.
He giveth
to
him
confidence
, and
he
is
supported,
And
his eyes `
are '
on their ways.
They are
exalted
for a moment
, then
they are gone;
they are
brought low and
gathered
up
like
all others ;
they are cut off like
heads
of
grain
.
High
they were
`
for '
a little
, and
they are not,
And
they have
been
brought low .
As
all `
others '
they are shut
up,
And
as
the
head
of
an
ear
of
corn
cut off.
If this
is
not so
, then
who can
prove me a liar and reduce
my
words
to
nothing? ”
And
if not now
, who doth
prove me a liar ,
And doth
make
of
nothing my
word
?
