New Testament

Job 24:1-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. “Since times of judgment are not kept by the Almighty,why do they who know Him not see His days?

2. Some remove the landmarks;they violently take away flocks and feed on them.

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

4. They turn away the needy;the poor of the earth are forced to hide.

5. Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,they go out to their work, rising early for a prey.The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.

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

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

8. They are wet with the showers of the mountainsand embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

9. They snatch the fatherless from the breastand take a pledge from the poor.

10. They cause him to go naked without clothing,and they take away the sheaf from the hungry.
