Context of Job 24:10
8They are drenched by mountain rains, and hug the rock for lack of shelter. 9The orphan is snatched from the breast; the infant of the poor is taken as a pledge. They wander about naked, without clothing and go hungry while they carry sheaves. 11They press oil between the terraces; they tread winepresses, but are thirsty. 12From the city men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out; yet God charges no one with folly.
