Job 24:2-12

NSB(i) 2 »The wicked remove landmarks. They seize flocks and pasture them. 3 »They drive away the donkey of the orphan. They take the widow’s ox for a pledge. 4 »They force the needy to yield the road. The poor of the earth all hide themselves. 5 »Like wild donkeys in the desert they go out to their toil. They search in the wasteland food for their young. 6 »They reap in a field not their own and they glean in the vineyard of the wicked. 7 »They lie all night naked, without clothing, and have no covering in the cold. 8 »They are wet with the rain of the mountains. They cling to the rock in search of shelter. 9 »There are those who snatch the orphan child from the breast. They take as a pledge the infant of the poor. 10 »The needy go about naked, without clothing; though hungry, they carry the sheaves. 11 »Between their terraces they press out oil. They tread the wine presses, but suffer thirst. 12 »The dying groan from the city. The throat of the wounded cries for help. Yet God pays no attention to their prayer.
