1 “For this reason from the Mighty One || Times have not been hidden, || And those knowing Him have not seen His days. 2 They reach the borders, || They have taken a drove away violently, || Indeed, they do evil. 3 They lead away the donkey of the fatherless, || They take in pledge the ox of the widow, 4 They turn aside the needy from the way, || Together have hid the poor of the earth. 5 Behold, wild donkeys in a wilderness, || They have gone out about their work, || Seeking early for prey, || A mixture for himself—food for young ones. 6 They reap his provender in a field, || And they glean the vineyard of the wicked. 7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold. 8 From the inundation of hills they are wet, || And without a refuge—have embraced a rock. Job 24:1-8, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
