24 “Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty?
    Why don’t those who know him see his days?
There are people who remove the landmarks.
    They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless,
    and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
They turn the needy out of the way.
    The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,
    they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food.
The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
    They cut their food in the field.
They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
    They lie all night naked without clothing,
and have no covering in the cold.
    They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
    There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast,
and take a pledge of the poor,
10     So that they go around naked without clothing.
    Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
11 They make oil within the walls of these men.
    They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
12 From out of the populous city, men groan.
    The soul of the wounded cries out,
    yet God doesn’t regard the folly.

Absence of justice

24 Why doesn’t the Almighty establish times for punishment?[a]
    Why can’t those who know him see his days?
People move boundary stones,
        herd flocks they’ve stolen,
    drive off an orphan’s donkey,
        take a widow’s ox as collateral,
    thrust the poor out of the way,
        make the land’s needy hide together.
They are like the wild donkeys in the desert;
    they go forth at dawn searching for prey;
        the wasteland is food for their young.
They gather their food in the field,
    glean in unproductive vineyards,
    spend the night naked, unclothed,
        in the cold without a cover,
    wet from mountain rains,
        with no refuge, huddled against a rock.
The orphan is stolen from the breast;
    the infant[b] of the poor is taken as collateral.
10 The poor go around naked, without clothes,
    carry bundles of grain while hungry,
11     crush olives between millstones,[c]
    tread winepresses, but remain thirsty.
12 From the city, the dying cry out;
    the throat of the mortally wounded screams, but God assigns no blame.
