Behold, like (A)wild donkeys in the wilderness
They (B)go out scavenging for food in their activity,
As [a]bread for their children in the desert.
They harvest their feed in the field
And glean the vineyard of the wicked.
(C)They spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering against the cold.
They are wet from the mountain rains,
And they hug the rock for lack of a shelter.
Others snatch an (D)orphan from the breast,
And they seize it as a pledge against the poor.
10 The poor move about naked without clothing,
And they carry sheaves, while going hungry.
11 Within the walls they produce oil;
They tread wine presses but go thirsty.
