Job 24:2-11

2Some move landmarks; they seize flocks and pasture them.

3They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

4They thrust the poor off the road; the poor of the earth all hide themselves.

5Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert the poor go out to their toil, seeking game; the wasteland yields food for their children.

6They gather their fodder in the field, and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.

7They lie all night naked, without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.

8They are wet with the rain of the mountains and cling to the rock for lack of shelter.

9(There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast, and they take a pledge against the poor.)

10They go about naked, without clothing; hungry, they carry the sheaves;

11among the olive rows of the wicked they make oil; they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.
