Job 24:6-17 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

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

7. Without clothing they spend the night naked, without covering against the cold.

8. They are drenched by mountain rains, and hug the rock for lack of shelter.

9. The orphan is snatched from the breast; the infant of the poor is taken as a pledge.

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

11. They press oil between the terraces; they tread winepresses, but are thirsty.

12. From the city men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out; yet God charges no one with folly.

13. These are those who rebel against the light, who do not recognize its ways or stay in its paths.

14. The murderer rises with the light, kills the poor and needy, and in the night becomes a thief.

15. The eye of the adulterer waits for twilight, thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ and he disguises his face.

16. When it is dark, they break into houses, but by day, they shut themselves in; they do not know the light.

17. For to all of them, morning is as thick darkness; they are familiar with the terrors of thick darkness.
