Job 24:2-12

2There are that remove the landmarks;They violently take awayH1497 flocksH5739, and feedH7462 them.3They drive awayH5090 the ass of the fatherlessH3490;They takeH2254 the widow’sH490 oxH7794 for a pledge.4They turnH5186 the needyH34 out of the wayH1870:The poor of the earthH776 all hideH2244 themselves.5Behold, as wildH6501 asses in the desertH6160They goH3318 forthH3318 to their workH6467, seekingH7836 diligently for foodH3899;The wildernessH4057yieldeththem breadH3899 for their children.6They cut their provender in the fieldH7704;And they glean the vintage of the wickedH7563.7They lie all night nakedH6174 without clothingH3830,And have no coveringH3682 in the cold.8They are wet with the showers of the mountainsH2022,And embraceH2263 the rockH6697 for want of a shelterH4268.9There are that pluck the fatherlessH3490 from the breastH7699,And takeH2254 a pledge of the poorH6041;10So thatthey goH1980 about nakedH6174 without clothingH3830,And being hungryH7456 they carryH5375 the sheaves.11They make oil within the wallsH7791 of these men;They treadH1869theirwinepressesH3342, and suffer thirst.12From out of the populous cityH5892 men groanH5008,And the soulH5315 of the woundedH2491 crieth out:Yet GodH433 regardeth not the folly.
