Job 24:2-24
2They remove the landmarks; they violently take awayH1497 the flocksH5739 and pasture them;
3They drive awayH5090 the ass of the fatherlessH3490, they takeH2254 the widow's oxH7794 for a pledge;
4They turnH5186 the needyH34 out of the wayH1870: the afflicted of the landH776 all hideH2244 themselves.
5Lo, [as] wildH6501 asses in the desertH6160, they goH3318 forthH3318 to their workH6467, seekingH7836 early for the preyH2964: the wildernessH4057 [yieldeth] them foodH3899 for [their] children.
6They reapH7114 in the fieldH7704 the fodderH1098 thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wickedH7563;
7They pass the night nakedH6174 without clothingH3830, and have no coveringH3682 in the cold;
8They are wet with the showers of the mountainsH2022, and for want of a shelterH4268 embraceH2263 the rockH6697...
9They pluck the fatherlessH3490 from the breastH7699, and takeH2254 a pledge of the poorH6041:
10These goH1980 nakedH6174 without clothingH3830, and, hungryH7456, they bearH5375 the sheafH6016;
11They press out oil within their wallsH7791, they treadH1869 their winepressesH3342, and suffer thirst.
12MenH4962 groanH5008 from out of the cityH5892, and the soulH5315 of the woundedH2491 crieth out; and 1GodH433 imputeth not the impiety.
13There are those that rebelH4775 against the lightH216; they know not the waysH1870 thereof, nor abide in the pathsH5410 thereof.
14The murdererH7523 riseth with the lightH216, killeth the afflictedH6041 and needyH34, and in the nightH3915 is as a thiefH1590.
15And the eyeH5869 of the adultererH5003 waiteth for the twilightH5399, sayingH559, No eyeH5869 shall see me; and he putteth a covering on [his] faceH6440.
16In the dark they digH2864 through housesH1004; by dayH3119 they shut themselves in; they knowH3045 not the lightH216:
17For the morningH1242 is to them all [as] the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrorsH1091 of the shadow of death.
18He is swiftH7031 on the faceH6440 of the watersH4325; their portionH2513 is cursedH7043 on the earthH776: he turneth not unto the wayH1870 of the vineyardsH3754.
19Drought and heatH2527 consume snowH7950 watersH4325; so doth SheolH7585 those that have sinnedH2398.
20The wombH7358 forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him: he shall be no more rememberedH2142; and unrighteousnessH5766 is brokenH7665 as a treeH6086, —
21He that despoileth the barrenH6135 that beareth not, and doeth not goodH3190 to the widowH490:
22He draweth also the mightyH47 with his powerH3581; he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of lifeH2416.
23[God] setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyesH5869 are upon their waysH1870.
24They are exalted for a littleH4592, and are no more; they are laid low; like all [other] are they gathered, and are cut off as the topsH7218 of the earsH7641 of corn.
