Job 24:3-21
3They driveH5090 awayH5090 the donkeysH2543 of 1orphansH3490; They seizeH2254 the 2widow’sH490 oxH7794 asH2254 aH2254 pledgeH2254.4They pushH5186 3the needyH34 asideH5186 from the roadH1870; The 4poorH6041 of the landH776 have to hideH2244 themselves togetherH3162.5BeholdH2005, like 5wildH6501 donkeysH6501 in the wildernessH4057 They 6goH3318 outH3318 scavengingH7836 for foodH2964 in their activityH6467, As 7breadH3899 for their childrenH5288 in the desertH6160.6They harvestH7114 their feedH1098 in the fieldH7704 And gleanH3953 the vineyardH3754 of the wickedH7563.78They spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885 nakedH6174, withoutH1097 clothingH3830, And haveH369 noH369 coveringH3682 against the coldH7135.8They are wetH7372 from the mountainH2022 rainsH2230, And they hugH2263 the rockH6697 for lackH1097 of a shelterH4268.9Others snatchH1497 an 9orphanH3490 from the breastH7699, And they seizeH2254 it asH2254 aH2254 pledgeH2254 againstH5921 the poorH6041.10The poor moveH1980 aboutH1980 nakedH6174 withoutH1097 clothingH3830, And they carryH5375 sheavesH6016, while going hungryH7457.11WithinH996 the wallsH7791 they produceH6671 oilH6671; They treadH1869 wineH3342 pressesH3342 but goH6770 thirstyH6770.12From the cityH5892 peopleH4962 groanH5008, And the soulsH5315 of the woundedH2491 cryH7768 forH7768 helpH7768; Yet GodH433 10does not payH7760 attentionH7760 to the offensivenessH8604.
13“11OthersH1992 have beenH1961 with those who rebelH4775 against the lightH216; They do not wantH5234 toH5234 knowH5234 its waysH1870 NorH3808 stayH3427 in its pathsH5410.14The murdererH7523 12arisesH6965 at dawnH216; He 13killsH6991 the poorH6041 and the needyH34, And at nightH3915 he is like a thiefH1590.15The eyeH5869 of the 14adultererH5003 watchesH8104 for 15twilightH5399, SayingH559, ‘NoH3808 eyeH5869 will seeH7789 me.’ And he 16disguisesH7760H5643 his faceH6440.16In the darknessH2822 they 17digH2864 into housesH1004, They 18shutH2856 themselves upH2856 by dayH3119; They do not knowH3045 the lightH216.17For the morningH1242 is the sameH3164 to him as thickH6757 darknessH6757, For he isH5234 familiarH5234 with the 19terrorsH1091 of thickH6757 darknessH6757.
18“They are 2021insignificantH7031 on the surfaceH6440 of the waterH4325; Their plotH2513 ofH2513 landH2513 on the earthH776 is 22cursedH7043. They do not turnH6437 23towardH1870 the 24vineyardsH3754.19DrynessH6723 and heatH2527 25snatchH1497 awayH1497 the snowH7950 watersH4325, As 2627SheolH7585 snatches those who have sinnedH2398.20A 2829motherH7358 will forgetH7911 him; The 30maggotH7415 feedsH4985 sweetlyH4985 until he is 31noH3808 longerH5750 rememberedH2142. And injusticeH5767 will be brokenH7665 32like a treeH6086.21He wrongsH7489 the 33infertileH6135 womanH6135, And doesH3190 noH3808 goodH3190 for 34the widowH490.
