Job 24:3-21

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:
