Job 24:1-5 New English Translation (NET)

1. “Why are times not appointed by the Almighty?Why do those who know him not see his days?

2. Men move boundary stones;they seize the flock and pasture them.

3. They drive away the orphan’s donkey;they take the widow’s ox as a pledge.

4. They turn the needy from the pathway,and the poor of the land hide themselves together.

5. Like wild donkeys in the desertthey go out to their labor, seeking diligently for food;the wasteland provides food for them and for their children.
