Iyov 24:9-21 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

18. Swiftly vanishing is he on the surface of the mayim; their chelek is cursed in ha'aretz; he turneth no more in the derech of the kramim (vineyards).

19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so doth Sheol those which have sinned.

20. The rechem (womb) shall forget him; the worm shall feast on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken like an etz.

21. He plundereth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the almanah.
