1 Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
1 PUESTO que no son ocultos los tiempos al Todopoderoso, ¿por qué los que le conocen no ven sus días?
2 Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
2 Traspasan los términos, roban los ganados, y apaciéntanlos.
3 They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
3 Llévanse el asno de los huérfanos; prenden el buey de la viuda.
4 They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
4 Hacen apartar del camino á los menesterosos: y todos los pobres de la tierra se esconden.
5 Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.
5 He aquí, como asnos monteses en el desierto, salen á su obra madrugando para robar; el desierto es mantenimiento de sus hijos.

11 They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
11 De dentro de sus paredes exprimen el aceite, pisan los lagares, y mueren de sed.
12 Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
12 De la ciudad gimen los hombres, y claman las almas de los heridos de muerte: mas Dios no puso estorbo.
13 These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
13 Ellos son los que, rebeldes á la luz, nunca conocieron sus caminos, ni estuvieron en sus veredas.
14 The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
14 A la luz se levanta el matador, mata al pobre y al necesitado, y de noche es como ladrón.

16 They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
16 En las tinieblas minan las casas, que de día para sí señalaron; no conocen la luz.
17 But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.
17 Porque la mañana es á todos ellos como sombra de muerte; si son conocidos, terrores de sombra de muerte [los toman].
18 He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
18 Son instables más que la superficie de las aguas; su porción es maldita en la tierra; no andarán por el camino de las viñas.
19 As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners.
19 La sequía y el calor arrebatan las aguas de la nieve; y el sepulcro á los pecadores.
20 The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.
20 Olvidaráse de ellos el seno materno; de ellos sentirán los gusanos dulzura; nunca más habrá de ellos memoria, y como un árbol serán los impíos quebrantados.
21 He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
21 A la mujer estéril que no paría, afligió; y á la viuda nunca hizo bien.

22 Mas á los fuertes adelantó con su poder: levantóse, y no se da por segura la vida.

23 Le dieron á crédito, y se afirmó: sus ojos están sobre los caminos de ellos.

24 Fueron ensalzados por un poco, mas desaparecen, y son abatidos como cada cual: serán encerrados, y cortados como cabezas de espigas.
25 But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
25 Y si no, ¿quién me desmentirá ahora, ó reducirá á nada mis palabras?
