Job 24:1-12
21st Century King James Version
24 “Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know Him not, see His days?
2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks and feed thereof.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless; they take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert go they forth to their work, rising early for a prey; the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field, and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge from the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry,
11 who make oil within their walls, and tread their wine presses, and suffer thirst.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; yet God layeth not folly to them.

Job 24:1-12
American Standard Version
24 [a]Why are times not laid up by the Almighty?
And why do not they that know him see his days?
2 There are that remove the landmarks;
They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless;
They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way:
The [b]poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert
They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for [c]food;
The wilderness yieldeth them bread for their children.
6 They cut [d]their provender in the field;
And they glean the vintage of the wicked.
7 They lie all night naked without clothing,
And have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast,
And [e]take a pledge of the poor;
10 So that they go about naked without clothing,
And being hungry they carry the sheaves.
11 They make oil within the walls of these men;
They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 From out of the [f]populous city men groan,
And the soul of the wounded crieth out:
Yet God regardeth not the folly.
