Job 24:3-5
Amplified Bible

“They drive away the donkeys of the orphans;
They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4
“They crowd the needy off the road;
The poor of the land all hide themselves.

“Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,
The poor go to their work, diligently seeking food;
As bread for their children in the desert.
Job 24:3-5
New King James Version
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
They (A)take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
4 They push the needy off the road;
All the (B)poor of the land are forced to hide.
5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert,
They go out to their work, searching for food.
The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
Job 24:3-5

the poor of the earth (C)all hide themselves.
5 Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
the poor[a] (D)go out to their toil, (E)seeking game;
the wasteland yields food for their children.
