Job Chapter 24

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 for 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 betimes 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 of the poor.

¹⁰ They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

¹¹ Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, 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.

¹³ They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

¹⁴ The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

¹⁵ The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

¹⁶ In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
