Job 24:2-11

2Wicked men move the stones that show the edge of their neighbour's land. They take their neighbour's land and his sheep for themselves.

3They take away a donkey that belongs to a child who has no family. They take an ox away from a widow, when they lend money to her.

4They stop poor people from receiving justice. Poor people have to run away from them and hide.

5Poor people have to look for food to eat, like wild donkeys in the desert. They have to find food for their children to eat.

6They find grain in the fields of other people. They pick grapes that remain in the vineyards of wicked people.

7They have no clothes to wear during the cold nights. They sleep without anything to cover themselves.

8The rain that falls in the mountains makes them very wet. So they hide among the rocks where they try to keep dry.

9When wicked people lend money to poor people, they even take a child whose father has died away from his mother.

10Poor people have to go out with no clothes to wear. They are hungry while they carry the crops of other people.

11They squeeze oil from olives that grow in the fields of other people. They also make wine from other people's grapes. But they themselves are thirsty.
