8. They are drenched with rain from the mountains,and for want of shelter they cling to the rock.
9. Orphans are snatched from the breast,infants of the needy are taken in pledge.
10. They go about naked, without clothing,and famished, they carry the sheaves.
11. Between the rows they press out the oil;they tread the wine presses, yet are thirsty.
12. In the city the dying groan,and the souls of the wounded cry out.Yet God does not treat it as a disgrace!
13. They are rebels against the light:they do not recognize its ways;they do not stay in its paths.
14. When there is no light the murderer rises,to kill the poor and needy;in the night he acts like a thief.
15. The eye of the adulterer watches for the twilight;he says, “No eye will see me.”He puts a mask over his face;
16. in the dark he breaks into houses;By day they shut themselves in;they do not know the light.
17. Indeed, for all of them morning is deep darkness;then they recognize the terrors of deep darkness.
18. He is swift on the surface of the water:their portion in the land is accursed,they do not turn aside by way of the vineyards.
19. Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters,Sheol, those who have sinned.
20. May the womb forget him,may the worm find him sweet,may he no longer be remembered;And may wickedness be broken like a tree.
21. May his companion be barren, unable to give birth,may his widow not prosper!
