Job 24:3-21

3They drive awayH5090 the ass of the fatherlessH3490, they takeH2254 the widow’sH490 oxH7794 for a pledge.

4They turnH5186 the needyH34 outH5186 of the wayH1870: the poorH34 of the earthH776 hideH2244 themselvesH2244 togetherH3162.

5BeholdH2005, as wildH6501 asses in the desertH6160 they goH3318 forthH3318 to their workH6467, seekingH7836 diligentlyH7836 for meat; the wildernessH4057 yieldeth them foodH3899 for their childrenH5288.

6They cut their provender in the fieldH7704; and they gleanH3953 the vintage of the wickedH7563.

7They lie all night nakedH6174 withoutH369 clothingH3830, and have noH369 coveringH3682 in the coldH7135.

8They are wetH7372 with the showers of the mountainsH2022, and embraceH2263 the rockH6697 for wantH1097 of a shelterH4268.

9There are that pluck the fatherlessH3490 from the breastH7699, and takeH2254 a pledge of the poorH6041:

10SoH1980 that they goH1980 aboutH1980 nakedH6174 withoutH1097 clothingH3830, and being an-hungred they carryH5375 the sheaves;

11They make oilH6671 withinH996 the wallsH7791 of these men; they treadH1869 their winepressesH3342, and suffer thirstH6770.

12From outH7768 of the populous cityH5892 menH4962 groanH5008, and the soulH5315 of the woundedH2491 crieth outH7768: yet GodH433 imputeth it notH3808 for follyH8604.

13TheseH1992 are of them that rebelH4775 againstH4775 the lightH216; they knowH5234 notH3808 the waysH1870 thereof, norH3808 abideH3427 in the pathsH5410 thereof.

14The murdererH7523 riseth with the lightH216, he killeth the poorH6041 and needyH34; and in the nightH3915 he is as a thiefH1590.

15The eyeH5869 also of the adultererH5003 waiteth for the twilightH5399, sayingH559, NoH3808 eyeH5869 shall seeH5869 meH6440: and he disguiseth his faceH6440.

16In the darkH2822 they digH2864 through housesH1004: they shutH2856 themselves upH2856 in the daytimeH3119; they knowH3045 notH3808 the lightH216.

17For the morningH1242 is to allH3162 of them as the shadowH6757 of deathH6757; for they knowH5234 the terrorsH1091 of the shadowH6757 of deathH6757.

18He is swiftH7031 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the watersH4325; their portionH2513 is cursedH7043 in the earthH776: he turneth notH3808 by the wayH1870 of the vineyardsH3754.

19DroughtH6723 and heatH2527 consumeH1497 the snowH7950 watersH4325: soH1571 doth SheolH7585 those whichH4325 have sinnedH2398.

20The wombH7358 shall forgetH7911 him; the wormH7415 shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be noH3808 moreH5750 rememberedH2142: and unrighteousnessH5766 shall be brokenH7665 as a treeH6086.

21He devoureth the barrenH6135 that beareth notH3808; and doeth notH3808 goodH3190 to the widowH490.
