Iyov 24:7-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. They spend the night arom (naked) without levush (clothing), they have no covering in the cold.

8. They are wet with the rain of the harim, and embrace the tzur for want of a shelter.

9. They pluck the yatom from the breast, and seize the oni for debt.

10. They cause him to go arom without levush, and they take away the omer (sheaf) from the hungry;

11. Which crush olives within their walls, and tread their winepresses, yet suffer thirst.

12. Men groan from out of the Ir, and the nefesh of the chalalim (wounded ones) crieth out, yet Eloah chargeth not tiflah (folly) to them.

13. They are of those that are moredei ohr (rebelling ones against the light); they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

14. The rotzeach rising with the daylight killeth the oni and needy, and in the lailah is like a ganav.

15. The eye also of the no'ef is shomer, watching for the dusk's twilight, saying, No eye shall see me, and puts something to hide his face.

16. In the choshech they dig through batim (houses); in the daytime they shut themselves in; they have no da'as of the ohr.

17. For the boker is to them even as the tzalmavet; they are friends with the terrors of tzalmavet.
