Job 24:7-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

7. They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.

8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

9. There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor;

10. So that they go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.

11. They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

12. From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.

13. These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof.

14. The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.

15. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.

16. In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light.
