4 They thrust the needy(D) from the path
and force all the poor(E) of the land into hiding.(F)

and glean in the vineyards(K) of the wicked.(L)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(M)
8 They are drenched(N) by mountain rains
and hug(O) the rocks for lack of shelter.(P)
9 The fatherless(Q) child is snatched(R) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(S) for a debt.(T)
10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;(U)
they carry the sheaves,(V) but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives among the terraces[a];
they tread the winepresses,(W) yet suffer thirst.(X)
12 The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.(Y)
But God charges no one with wrongdoing.(Z)
