Job 24:2-11
New International Version
2 There are those who move boundary stones;(A)
they pasture flocks they have stolen.(B)
3 They drive away the orphan’s donkey
and take the widow’s ox in pledge.(C)
4 They thrust the needy(D) from the path
and force all the poor(E) of the land into hiding.(F)
5 Like wild donkeys(G) in the desert,
the poor go about their labor(H) of foraging food;
the wasteland(I) provides food for their children.
6 They gather fodder(J) in the fields
and glean in the vineyards(K) of the wicked.(L)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(M)
8 They are drenched(N) by mountain rains
and hug(O) the rocks for lack of shelter.(P)
9 The fatherless(Q) child is snatched(R) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(S) for a debt.(T)
10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;(U)
they carry the sheaves,(V) but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives among the terraces[a];
they tread the winepresses,(W) yet suffer thirst.(X)
