New Testament

Job 24:1-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. “Why are not times kept by Shaddai, and why do not those who know him see his days?

2. They remove border stones; they seize flocks, and they pasture them.

3. They drive away the donkey of orphans; they take the widow’s ox as a pledge.

4. They thrust the poor off the road; the needy of the earth hide themselves together.

5. “Look, like wild donkeys in the desert they go out to their labor as searchers for the prey; the wilderness is their food for the young.

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

7. They spend the night naked, without clothing, and they have no garment in the cold.

8. They are wet from the rainstorm of the mountains, and they cling to the rock without refuge.

9. “They snatch the orphan from the breast, and they take a pledge against the needy.

10. They go about naked, without clothing, and hungry, they carry the sheaves.

11. Between their terraces they press out oil; they tread the presses, but they are thirsty.

12. From the city people groan, and the throat of the wounded cries for help; yet God does not regard it as unseemly.
