Job 24:1-8 ▼

1 |Why are times not appointed by the Almighty? Why do those who know him not see his days?

2 Men move boundary stones; they seize the flock and pasture them.

3 They drive away the orphan's donkey; they take the widow's ox as a pledge.

4 They turn the needy from the pathway, and the poor of the land hide themselves together.

5 Like wild donkeys in the desert they go out to their labor, seeking diligently for food; the wasteland provides food for them and for their children.

6 They reap fodder in the field, and glean in the vineyard of the wicked.

7 They spend the night naked because they lack clothing; they have no covering against the cold.

8 They are soaked by mountain rains and huddle in the rocks because they lack shelter.
