1. “Why doesn’t God All-Powerful set times for judgment? And why can’t his followers know when those times will be?

2. “People move property markers to get more of their neighbor’s land. People steal flocks and lead them to other grasslands.

3. They steal a donkey that belongs to an orphan. They take a widow’s cow until she pays what she owes them.

9. They take a nursing baby from its mother. They take a poor person’s child to guarantee a loan.

4. They force the poor to move out of their way and to get off the road.

5. “The poor are like wild donkeys that go out to the desert to find food. From morning to night they work to gather food for their children.

6. They have to work in the fields, harvesting grain. They work for the rich, gathering grapes in their vineyards.

7. They must sleep all night without clothes. They have no covers to protect them from the cold.

8. They are soaked with rain in the mountains. They stay close to the large rocks for shelter.

10. They have no clothes, so they work naked. They carry piles of grain for others, but they go hungry.

11. They press out olive oil and walk on grapes in the winepress, but they have nothing to drink.
