The poor of the earth all hide themselves. 5 Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children. 6 They cut their provender in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked. 7 They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold. 8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter. 9 There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor, 10 So that they go around naked without clothing.

They don't know its ways, nor stay in its paths. 14 The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy.

They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don't know the light.
