1"Why does the Almighty not set times for judgment? Why must those who know him look in vain for such days?

1מַדּ֗וּעַ מִ֭שַּׁדַּי לֹא־ נִצְפְּנ֣וּ עִתִּ֑ים [וידעו] (וְ֝יֹדְעָ֗יו) לֹא־ חָ֥זוּ יָמָֽיו׃

2There are those who move boundary stones; they pasture flocks they have stolen.

2גְּבֻל֥וֹת יַשִּׂ֑יגוּ עֵ֥דֶר גָּ֝זְל֗וּ וַיִּרְעֽוּ׃

3They drive away the orphan's donkey and take the widow's ox in pledge.

3חֲמ֣וֹר יְתוֹמִ֣ים יִנְהָ֑גוּ יַ֝חְבְּל֗וּ שׁ֣וֹר אַלְמָנָֽה׃

4They thrust the needy from the path and force all the poor of the land into hiding.

4יַטּ֣וּ אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים מִדָּ֑רֶךְ יַ֥חַד חֻ֝בְּא֗וּ עֲנִיֵּי־ אָֽרֶץ׃

5Like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go about their labor of foraging food; the wasteland provides food for their children.

5הֵ֤ן פְּרָאִ֨ים ׀ בַּֽמִּדְבָּ֗ר יָצְא֣וּ בְּ֭פָעֳלָם מְשַׁחֲרֵ֣י לַטָּ֑רֶף עֲרָבָ֥ה ל֥וֹ לֶ֝֗חֶם לַנְּעָרִֽים׃

6They gather fodder in the fields and glean in the vineyards of the wicked.

6בַּ֭שָּׂדֶה בְּלִיל֣וֹ [יקצירו] (יִקְצ֑וֹרוּ) וְכֶ֖רֶם רָשָׁ֣ע יְלַקֵּֽשׁוּ׃

7Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked; they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.

7עָר֣וֹם יָ֭לִינוּ מִבְּלִ֣י לְב֑וּשׁ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת בַּקָּרָֽה׃

8They are drenched by mountain rains and hug the rocks for lack of shelter.

8מִזֶּ֣רֶם הָרִ֣ים יִרְטָ֑בוּ וּֽמִבְּלִ֥י מַ֝חְסֶ֗ה חִבְּקוּ־ צֽוּר׃

9The fatherless child is snatched from the breast; the infant of the poor is seized for a debt.

9יִ֭גְזְלוּ מִשֹּׁ֣ד יָת֑וֹם וְֽעַל־ עָנִ֥י יַחְבֹּֽלוּ׃

10Lacking clothes, they go about naked; they carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.

10עָר֣וֹם הִ֭לְּכוּ בְּלִ֣י לְב֑וּשׁ וּ֝רְעֵבִ֗ים נָ֣שְׂאוּ עֹֽמֶר׃

11They crush olives among the terraces; they tread the winepresses, yet suffer thirst.

11בֵּין־ שׁוּרֹתָ֥ם יַצְהִ֑ירוּ יְקָבִ֥ים דָּ֝רְכ֗וּ וַיִּצְמָֽאוּ׃

12The groans of the dying rise from the city, and the souls of the wounded cry out for help. But God charges no one with wrongdoing.

12מֵ֘עִ֤יר מְתִ֨ים ׀ יִנְאָ֗קוּ וְנֶֽפֶשׁ־ חֲלָלִ֥ים תְּשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וֶ֝אֱל֗וֹהַּ לֹא־ יָשִׂ֥ים תִּפְלָֽה׃

13"There are those who rebel against the light, who do not know its ways or stay in its paths.

13הֵ֤מָּה ׀ הָיוּ֮ בְּֽמֹרְדֵ֫י־ א֥וֹר לֹֽא־ הִכִּ֥ירוּ דְרָכָ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָֽיו׃

14When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up, kills the poor and needy, and in the night steals forth like a thief.

14לָא֡וֹר יָ֘ק֤וּם רוֹצֵ֗חַ יִֽקְטָל־ עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְי֑וֹן וּ֝בַלַּ֗יְלָה יְהִ֣י כַגַּנָּֽב׃

15The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk; he thinks, 'No eye will see me,' and he keeps his face concealed.

15וְעֵ֤ין נֹאֵ֨ף ׀ שָׁ֤מְרָֽה נֶ֣שֶׁף לֵ֭אמֹר לֹא־ תְשׁוּרֵ֣נִי עָ֑יִן וְסֵ֖תֶר פָּנִ֣ים יָשִֽׂים׃

16In the dark, thieves break into houses, but by day they shut themselves in; they want nothing to do with the light.

16חָתַ֥ר בַּחֹ֗שֶׁךְ בָּ֫תִּ֥ים יוֹמָ֥ם חִתְּמוּ־ לָ֗מוֹ לֹא־ יָ֥דְעוּ אֽוֹר׃

17For all of them, midnight is their morning; they make friends with the terrors of darkness.

17כִּ֤י יַחְדָּ֨ו ׀ בֹּ֣קֶר לָ֣מוֹ צַלְמָ֑וֶת כִּֽי־ יַ֝כִּ֗יר בַּלְה֥וֹת צַלְמָֽוֶת׃

18"Yet they are foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one goes to the vineyards.

18קַֽל־ ה֤וּא ׀ עַל־ פְּנֵי־ מַ֗יִם תְּקֻלַּ֣ל חֶלְקָתָ֣ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ לֹֽא־ יִ֝פְנֶה דֶּ֣רֶךְ כְּרָמִֽים׃

19As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow, so the grave snatches away those who have sinned.

19צִיָּ֤ה גַם־ חֹ֗ם יִגְזְל֥וּ מֵֽימֵי־ שֶׁ֗לֶג שְׁא֣וֹל חָטָֽאוּ׃

20The womb forgets them, the worm feasts on them; the wicked are no longer remembered but are broken like a tree.

20יִשְׁכָּ֘חֵ֤הוּ רֶ֨חֶם ׀ מְתָ֘ק֤וֹ רִמָּ֗ה ע֥וֹד לֹֽא־ יִזָּכֵ֑ר וַתִּשָּׁבֵ֖ר כָּעֵ֣ץ עַוְלָֽה׃

21They prey on the barren and childless woman, and to the widow they show no kindness.

21רֹעֶ֣ה עֲ֭קָרָה לֹ֣א תֵלֵ֑ד וְ֝אַלְמָנָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְיֵטִֽיב׃

22But God drags away the mighty by his power; though they become established, they have no assurance of life.

22וּמָשַׁ֣ךְ אַבִּירִ֣ים בְּכֹח֑וֹ יָ֝ק֗וּם וְֽלֹא־ יַאֲמִ֥ין בַּֽחַיִּֽין׃

23He may let them rest in a feeling of security, but his eyes are on their ways.

23יִתֶּן־ ל֣וֹ לָ֭בֶטַח וְיִשָּׁעֵ֑ן וְ֝עֵינֵ֗יהוּ עַל־ דַּרְכֵיהֶֽם׃

24For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.

24ר֤וֹמּוּ מְּעַ֨ט ׀ וְֽאֵינֶ֗נּוּ וְֽהֻמְּכ֗וּ כַּכֹּ֥ל יִקָּפְצ֑וּן וּכְרֹ֖אשׁ שִׁבֹּ֣לֶת יִמָּֽלוּ׃

25"If this is not so, who can prove me false and reduce my words to nothing?"

25וְאִם־ לֹ֣א אֵ֭פוֹ מִ֣י יַכְזִיבֵ֑נִי וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְ֝אַ֗ל מִלָּתִֽי׃ ס
