God's Word Translation

Job 24:6-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

6. They harvest animal food in the field ⌊to feed themselves⌋.They pick the leftover grapes in the wicked person’s vineyard.

7. All night they lie nakedwithout a covering from the cold.

8. They are drenched by the rainstorms in the mountains.They hug the rocks because they can’t find shelter.

9. “⌊People⌋ snatch the ⌊nursing⌋ orphan from a breastand take a poor woman’s baby as security for a loan.

10. ⌊That is why⌋ the poor go around naked.They are hungry, yet they carry bundles of grain.

11. They press out olive oil between rows ⌊of olive trees⌋.They stomp on grapes in wine vats, yet they are thirsty.

12. Those dying in the city groan.Wounded people cry for help,but God pays no attention to their prayers.

13. “Such people are among those who rebel against the light.They are not acquainted with its ways.They do not stay on its paths.

14. At dawn murderers rise; they kill the poor and needy.At night they become thieves.

15. Adulterers watch for twilight.They say, ‘No one is watching us,’ as they cover their faces.
