Job 24:5-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Like wild donkeys in the desert,
the poor go out to their task of foraging for food;
the wilderness provides nourishment for their children.
⁶ They gather their fodder in the field
and glean the vineyards of the wicked.
⁷ Without clothing, they spend the night naked,
having no covering against the cold.^(A)
8 Drenched by mountain rains,
they huddle against^[a] the rocks, shelterless.
⁹ The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast;
the nursing child of the poor is seized as collateral.^[b]
10 Without clothing, they wander about naked.
They carry sheaves but go hungry.^(B)
11 They crush olives in their presses;^[c]
they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
