Job 24:2-12


2
1Some amove the boundaries;
They seize and 2devour flocks.

3
They drive away the donkeys of the aorphans;
They take the bwidow’s ox for a pledge.

4
They push athe needy aside from the road;
The bafflicted of the land are made to hide themselves altogether.

5
Behold, as awild donkeys in the wilderness
They bgo forth seeking food earnestly in their work,
The desert becomes 1for him a place of bread for his young ones.

6
They harvest their fodder in the field
And glean the vineyard of the wicked.

7
aThey spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering against the cold.

8
They are wet with the mountain rains
And hug the rock for want of a shelter.

9
1Others snatch the aorphan from the breast,
And against the afflicted they take a pledge.

10
Those poor ones walk about naked without clothing,
And hungry ones carry the sheaves.

11
Within the walls they produce oil;
They tread wine presses but thirst.

12
From the city men groan,
And the souls of the wounded cry out;
Yet God adoes not pay attention to such offense.
