Job 24:2-16

Rotherham^{(i) 2} Boundaries, men move back, flocks, they seize and consume; ³ The ass of the fatherless, they drive off, they take in pledge the ox of the widow; ⁴ They turn aside the needy out of the way, at once, are the humbled of the land made to hide themselves. ⁵ Lo! [as] wild asses in the wilderness, they go forth with their work, eager seekers for prey, the waste plain, yieldeth them food for their young; ⁶ In the field––a man’s fodder, they cut down, and, the vineyard of the lawless, they strip of its late berries; ⁷ Ill–clad, they are left to lodge without clothing, and have no covering in the cold; ⁸ With the sweeping rain of the mountains, are they wet, and, through having no shelter, they embrace a rock. ⁹ Men tear, from the breast, the fatherless, and, over the poor, they take a pledge; ¹⁰ Naked, they go about without clothing, and, famished, they carry the sheaves; ¹¹ Between their walls, are they exposed to the sun, Wine–presses, they tread, and yet are thirsty; ¹² Out of the city––out of the houses, they make outcry. and, the soul of the wounded, calleth for help, and, GOD, doth not regard it as foolish.
¹³ They, have become rebels against the light,––they are not acquainted with the ways thereof, neither abide they in the paths thereof. ¹⁴ With the light, riseth the murderer, He slayeth the poor and needy, And, in the night, he becometh like a thief. ¹⁵ And, the eye of the adulterer, watcheth for the evening twilight, saying, Not an eye will see me! A covering for the face, he putteth on; ¹⁶ He breaketh, in the dark, into houses,––By day, they lock themselves in, They know not the light;
