¹⁵ At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.

²⁴ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?

²⁰ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

⁸ But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

¹² Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

²² He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

²⁰ In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

²⁸ So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

²² Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
