Job 24:2-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

9. Orphans are snatched from the breast,infants of the needy are taken in pledge.

10. They go about naked, without clothing,and famished, they carry the sheaves.
