Job 24:2-11
2People 1remove landmarks; They seize and 2devour flocks.3They drive away the donkeys of 3orphans; They seize the 4widow’s ox as a pledge.4They push 5the needy aside from the road; The 6poor of the land have to hide themselves together.5Behold, like 7wild donkeys in the wilderness They 8go out scavenging for food in their activity, As 9bread for their children in the desert.6They harvest their feed in the field And glean the vineyard of the wicked.710They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering against the cold.8They are wet from the mountain rains, And they hug the rock for lack of a shelter.9Others snatch an 11orphan from the breast, And they seize it as a pledge against the poor.10The poor move about naked without clothing, And they carry sheaves, while going hungry.11Within the walls they produce oil; They tread wine presses but go thirsty.
