Amplified Bible
Job 24:2-11
2Some remove the landmarks; They [violently] seize and pasture flocks [appropriating land and flocks openly].
3They drive away the donkeys of the orphans; They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4They crowd the needy off the road; The poor of the land all hide themselves.
5Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, The poor go to their work, diligently seeking food; As bread for their children in the desert.
6They harvest their fodder in a field [that is not their own], And glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering against the cold.
8They are wet from the rain of the mountains And cling to the rock for lack of shelter.
9Others snatch the fatherless [infants] from the breast [to sell or make them slaves], And against the poor they take a pledge [of clothing].
10They cause the poor to go about naked without clothing, And they take away the sheaves [of grain] from the hungry.
11Within the walls [of the wicked] the poor make [olive] oil; They tread [the grapes in] the wine presses, but thirst.
