Job:24:2-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Men remove landmarks ;
they seize flocks and pasture them .
*
They drive away the ass of the fatherless ;
they take the widow '
s ox for a pledge .
*
They thrust the poor off the road ;
the poor of the earth all hide themselves .
*
Behold ,
like wild asses in the desert they go forth to their toil ,
seeking prey in the wilderness as food for their children .
*
They gather their fodder in the field and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man .
*
They lie all night naked ,
without clothing ,
and have no covering in the cold .
*
They are wet with the rain of the mountains ,
and cling to the rock for want of shelter .
* (
There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast ,
and take in pledge the infant of the poor .)
*
They go about naked ,
without clothing ;
hungry ,
they carry the sheaves ;
*
among the olive rows of the wicked they make oil ;
they tread the wine presses ,
but suffer thirst .
*
From out of the city the dying groan ,
and the soul of the wounded cries for help ;
yet God pays no attention to their prayer .
* "
There are those who rebel against the light ,
who are not acquainted with its ways ,
and do not stay in its paths .
*
The murderer rises in the dark ,
that he may kill the poor and needy ;
and in the night he is as a thief .
*
The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight ,
saying , `
No eye will see me ';
and he disguises his face .
*
In the dark they dig through houses ;
by day they shut themselves up ;
they do not know the light .
