| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness `yieldeth' them bread for their children. |

| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread `their' winepresses, and suffer thirst. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly. |

| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light. |

| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech nothing worth? |
