Context of Job 24:10
8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 9There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor; So thatthey go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves. 11They make oil within the walls of these men; They treadtheirwinepresses, and suffer thirst. 12From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.
