Explore this passage in the graph2There are those who move boundary stones; they pasture flocks they have stolen. 3They drive away the orphan’s donkey and take the widow’s ox in pledge. 4They thrust the needy from the path and force all the poor of the land into hiding. 5Like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go about their labor of foraging food; the wasteland provides food for their children. 6They gather fodder in the fields and glean in the vineyards of the wicked. 7Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked; they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold. 8They are drenched by mountain rains and hug the rocks for lack of shelter. 9The fatherless child is snatched from the breast; the infant of the poor is seized for a debt. 10Lacking clothes, they go about naked; they carry the sheaves, but still go hungry. 11They crush olives among the terraces; they tread the winepresses, yet suffer thirst. 12The groans of the dying rise from the city, and the souls of the wounded cry out for help. But God charges no one with wrongdoing. 13“There are those who rebel against the light, who do not know its ways or stay in its paths. 14When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up, kills the poor and needy, and in the night steals forth like a thief. 15The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk; he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’ and he keeps his face concealed. 16In the dark, thieves break into houses, but by day they shut themselves in; they want nothing to do with the light.
