They seize flocks violently and feed on them;
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
They (B)take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
4 They push the needy off the road;
All the (C)poor of the land are forced to hide.
5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert,
They go out to their work, searching for food.
The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
6 They gather their fodder in the field
And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
7 They (D)spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering in the cold.
