Job 24:1-9

1. 1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

2. 2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.

3. 3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

4. 4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

5. 5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.

6. 6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.

7. 7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.

8. 8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

9. 9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
