Job 24:1-8 ▼

1 Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know Him see His days?

2 There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them.

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 wilderness They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The desert yieldeth them bread for their children.

6 They cut his provender in the field; And they despoil 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 showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
