yetp God does not regard it as unseemly.q

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

They go about naked, without clothing;

hungry, they carry the sheaves;

among the olive rows of the wicked they make oil;

they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.

From out of the city the dying groan,

and the soul of the wounded cries for help;

yet God charges no one with wrong.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Lacking clothes, they go about naked;

they carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.

They crush olives among the terraces;

they tread the winepresses, yet suffer thirst.

The 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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Without clothing, they wander about naked.

They carry sheaves but go hungry.

They crush olives in their presses;

they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.

From the city, men groan;

the mortally wounded cry for help,

yet God pays no attention to this crime.

NLTNew Living Translation

The poor must go about naked, without any clothing.

They harvest food for others while they themselves are starving.

They press out olive oil without being allowed to taste it,

and they tread in the winepress as they suffer from thirst.

The groans of the dying rise from the city,

and the wounded cry for help,

yet God ignores their moaning.

KJV 1900King James Version

They cause him to go naked without clothing,

And they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

Which make oil within their walls,

And tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

Men groan from out of the city,

And the soul of the wounded crieth out:

Yet God layeth not folly to them.
