## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### The Apparent Indifference of God
[[#Verse 01.]] “Why are times not appointed by the Almighty?
Why do those who know him not see his days?
[[#Verse 02.]] Men move boundary stones;
they seize the flock and pasture them.
[[#Verse 03.]] They drive away the orphan’s donkey;
they take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
[[#Verse 04.]] They turn the needy from the pathway,
and the poor of the land hide themselves together.
[[#Verse 05.]] Like wild donkeys in the wilderness,
they go out to their labor seeking diligently for food;
the arid rift valley provides food for them and for their children.
[[#Verse 06.]] They reap fodder in the field,
and glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
[[#Verse 07.]] They spend the night naked because they lack clothing;
they have no covering against the cold.
[[#Verse 08.]] They are soaked by mountain rains
and huddle in the rocks because they lack shelter.
[[#Verse 09.]] The fatherless child is snatched from the breast,
the infant of the poor is taken as a pledge.
[[#Verse 10.]] They go about naked, without clothing,
and go hungry while they carry the sheaves.
[[#Verse 11.]] They press out the olive oil between the rows of olive trees;
they tread the winepresses while they are thirsty.
[[#Verse 12.]] From the city the dying groan,
and the wounded cry out for help,
but God charges no one with wrongdoing.
[[#Verse 13.]] There are those who rebel against the light;
they do not know its ways
and they do not stay on its paths.
[[#Verse 14.]] Before daybreak the murderer rises up;
he kills the poor and the needy;
in the night he is like a thief.
[[#Verse 15.]] And the eye of the adulterer watches for the twilight,
thinking, ‘No eye can see me,’
and covers his face with a mask.
[[#Verse 16.]] In the dark the robber breaks into houses,
but by day they shut themselves in;
they do not know the light.
[[#Verse 17.]] For all of them, the morning is to them like deep darkness;
they are friends with the terrors of darkness.
[[#Verse 18.]] “You say, ‘He is foam on the face of the waters; their portion of the land is cursed so that no one goes to their vineyard.
[[#Verse 19.]] The drought as well as the heat snatch up the melted snow; so the grave snatches up the sinner.
[[#Verse 20.]] The womb forgets him, the worm feasts on him, no longer will he be remembered. Like a tree, wickedness will be broken down.
[[#Verse 21.]] He preys on the barren and childless woman, and does not treat the widow well.
[[#Verse 22.]] But God drags off the mighty by his power; when God rises up against him, he has no faith in his life.
[[#Verse 23.]] God may let them rest in a feeling of security, but he is constantly watching all their ways.
[[#Verse 24.]] They are exalted for a little while, and then they are gone, they are brought low like all others, and gathered in, and like a head of grain they are cut off.’
[[#Verse 25.]] “If this is not so, who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?”
