New Testament

Job 24:9-15 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

9. The fatherless child is snatched from the breast;the infant of the poor is seized for a debt.

10. Lacking clothes, they go about naked;they carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.

11. They crush olives among the terraces;they tread the winepresses, yet suffer thirst.

12. The groans of the dying rise from the city,and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.But God charges no one with wrongdoing.

13. ‘There are those who rebel against the light,who do not know its waysor stay in its paths.

14. When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,kills the poor and needy,and in the night steals forth like a thief.

15. The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk;he thinks, “No eye will see me,”and he keeps his face concealed.
