Job 24:1-8 ▼

1 “Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment? Why may those who know Him never see His days?

2 Men move boundary stones; they pasture stolen flocks.

3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless and take the widow’s ox in pledge.

4 They push the needy off the road and force all the poor of the land into hiding.

5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go to work foraging for food; the wasteland is food for their children.

6 They gather fodder in the fields and glean the vineyards of the wicked.

7 Without clothing, they spend the night naked; they have no covering against the cold.

8 Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.
