Job 24

¹Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?

²They remove the landmarks; they violently take away the flocks and pasture them;

³They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge;

⁴They turn the needy out of the way: the afflicted of the land all hide themselves.

⁵Lo, [as] wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] them food for [their] children.

⁶They reap in the field the fodder thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wicked;

⁷They pass the night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;

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

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

¹⁰These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;

¹¹They press out oil within their walls, they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

¹²Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; and God imputeth not the impiety.

¹³There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

¹⁴The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
