Job 24:9-14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9. The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast;the nursing child of the poor is seized as collateral.

10. Without clothing, they wander about naked.They carry sheaves but go hungry.

11. They crush olives in their presses; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.

12. From the city, men groan;the mortally wounded cry for help,yet God pays no attention to this crime.

13. The wicked are those who rebel against the light.They do not recognize its waysor stay on its paths.

14. The murderer rises at dawnto kill the poor and needy,and by night he becomes a thief.
