Job 24:2-11

2The wicked displace boundary markers. They steal a flock and provide pasture for it.

3They drive away the donkeys owned by the fatherless and take the widow’s ox as collateral.

4They push the needy off the road; the poor of the land are forced into hiding.

5Like wild donkeys in the wilderness, the poor go out to their task of foraging for food; the desert provides nourishment for their children.

6They gather their fodder in the field and glean the vineyards of the wicked.

7Without clothing, they spend the night naked, having no covering against the cold.

8Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks, shelterless.

9The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized as collateral.

10Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry sheaves but go hungry.

11They crush olives in their presses; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
