They (A)thrust the poor off the road;
    the poor of the earth (B)all hide themselves.
Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
    the poor[a] (C)go out to their toil, (D)seeking game;
    the wasteland yields food for their children.
They gather their[b] fodder in the field,
    and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.
They (E)lie all night naked, without clothing,
    and have no covering in the cold.
They are wet with the rain of the mountains
    and (F)cling to the rock for lack of shelter.
