Job 24:2-12
English Standard Version
2 Some move (A)landmarks;
they seize flocks and pasture them.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
they (B)take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They (C)thrust the poor off the road;
the poor of the earth (D)all hide themselves.
5 Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
the poor[a] (E)go out to their toil, (F)seeking game;
the wasteland yields food for their children.
6 They gather their[b] fodder in the field,
and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.
7 They (G)lie all night naked, without clothing,
and have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the rain of the mountains
and (H)cling to the rock for lack of shelter.
9 (There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast,
and they take a pledge against the poor.)
10 They go about naked, without clothing;
hungry, they (I)carry the sheaves;
11 among the olive rows of the wicked[c] they make oil;
they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.
12 From out of the city the dying[d] groan,
and the soul of (J)the wounded cries for help;
yet God charges no one with (K)wrong.
