Job 24:2-11

2Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and their feed.1

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

4They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

5Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work; rising early for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.

6They reap every one his grain in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.23

7They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.

8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

9They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

10They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

11Who make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
