Job 24:1-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Why are times not set by the Almighty,and why do his friends not see his days?

2. People remove landmarks;they steal herds and pasture them.

3. The donkeys of orphans they drive away;they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.

4. They force the needy off the road;all the poor of the land are driven into hiding.

5. Like wild donkeys in the wilderness,they go forth to their task of seeking prey;the steppe provides food for their young;

6. They harvest fodder in the field,and glean in the vineyard of the wicked.

7. They pass the night naked, without clothing;they have no covering against the cold;

8. They are drenched with rain from the mountains,and for want of shelter they cling to the rock.
