New Testament

Job 24:6-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. They reap a field that is not their own, and they harvest a vineyard that they have taken by force.

7. They send men away naked, having taken the clothing of those who have no covering in the cold;

8. these are wet with the mountain rain, and, having no covering, they embrace the rocks.

9. They have used violence to deprive orphans, and they have robbed the poor common people.

10. From the naked and those who do not have enough clothing, and from the hungry, they have taken away sheaves of grain.

11. They take their midday rest among the stockpiles of those who, though they have trodden the winepresses, suffer thirst.

12. In the cities, they caused the men to groan and the spirit of the wounded to cry out, and so God does not allow this to go unpunished.

13. They have been rebellious against the light; they have not known his ways, nor have they returned by his paths.

14. The killer of men rises at first light; he executes the destitute and the poor, but, in truth, he is like a thief in the night.
