New Living Translation
Job 24:2-11
2Evil people steal land by moving the boundary markers. They steal livestock and put them in their own pastures.
3They take the orphan’s donkey and demand the widow’s ox as security for a loan.
4The poor are pushed off the path; the needy must hide together for safety.
5Like wild donkeys in the wilderness, the poor must spend all their time looking for food, searching even in the desert for food for their children.
6They harvest a field they do not own, and they glean in the vineyards of the wicked.
7All night they lie naked in the cold, without clothing or covering.
8They are soaked by mountain showers, and they huddle against the rocks for want of a home.
9“The wicked snatch a widow’s child from her breast, taking the baby as security for a loan.
10The poor must go about naked, without any clothing. They harvest food for others while they themselves are starving.
11They press out olive oil without being allowed to taste it, and they tread in the winepress as they suffer from thirst.
