Why aren't times kept?
"Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do those who know him not see his days? Some remove landmarks, violently take away flocks and feed on them. They drive away the orphan's donkey and take the widow's ox as a pledge. They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth hide themselves together. Like wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, rising early for prey; the wilderness provides food for them and their children. They reap another man's grain in the field and gather the vintage of the wicked. They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, so that they have no covering in the cold. They are wet with the showers of the mountains and embrace the rock for want of shelter. They pluck orphans from the breast and take a pledge of the poor. They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry. They make oil within their walls and tread their winepresses, yet suffer thirst. Men groan from outside the city, and the soul of the wounded cries out, yet God does not lay folly to them. They are of those who rebel against the light; they do not know its ways or stay in its paths. The murderer rises with the light, kills the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, 'No eye will see me,' and disguises his face. In the dark they dig through houses which they had marked for themselves in the daytime. They do not know the light. For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death; if one knows them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. He is swift upon the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth, and he never turns towards the vineyards. Drought and heat consume the snow waters, and so does the grave those who have sinned. The womb will forget him; the worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be remembered no more, and wickedness will be broken like a tree. He mistreats the woman who cannot have children and does no good to the widow. He also draws the mighty with his power. He rises up, and no man is sure of life. Though it is given him to be safe, and he rests on it, God's eyes are still upon their ways. They are exalted for a little while, then gone. They are brought low and taken away like everyone else, cut off like the tops of ears of grain. And if it is not so, who will make me a liar and make my speech worth nothing?"
Why aren't times kept by the Almighty? And why don't the ones who know him see his days? Some shift the boundary markers. They take away flocks by force and feed them. They drive the donkey of the orphan away. They take the widow's ox as a pledge. They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth hide themselves together. Look — like wild donkeys in the wilderness they go out to their work, getting up early for prey. The wilderness gives food for them and for their children. They reap each one his fodder in the field. And they gather the vintage of the wicked. They make the naked lie all night without clothing, so they've got no covering in the cold. They're wet with the showers of the mountains, and take hold of the rock for want of shelter. They pull the orphan from the breast and take a pledge from the poor. They make him go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry. They make oil inside their walls, and tread their winepresses, and go thirsty. Men groan out of the town, and the soul of the wounded cries out. But God doesn't lay folly to them. They're of the ones who rebel against the light. They don't know its ways or stay in its paths. The killer gets up with the light and kills the poor and needy, and in the night he's like a thief. The eye of the adulterer waits for the dusk: No eye will see me. And he disguises his face. In the dark they dig through houses that they marked out for themselves in the daytime. They don't know the light. Because the morning is like the shadow of death to them. If someone knows them, they're in the terrors of the shadow of death. He's swift on the face of the waters. Their share is cursed in the earth. He doesn't look towards the way of the vineyards. Drought and heat take away the snow waters, and the grave takes the ones who've sinned. The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He won't be remembered any more. And wickedness will be broken like a tree. He deals badly with the barren woman who doesn't give birth, and doesn't do good to the widow. He drags off the mighty with his power. He gets up, and no man is sure of life. Though it's given him to be safe and he rests on it, still his eyes are on their ways. They're lifted up for a little while, but they're gone and brought low. They're taken out of the way like all others, and cut off like the tops of the ears of grain. And if it isn't so now, who'll make me a liar and make my speech worth nothing?
Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge. They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
