New King James Version

Job 24:1-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty,Why do those who know Him see not His days?

2. “Some remove landmarks;They seize flocks violently and feed on them;

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

4. They push the needy off the road;All the poor of the land are forced to hide.

5. Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert,They go out to their work, searching for food.The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.

6. They gather their fodder in the fieldAnd glean in the vineyard of the wicked.

7. They spend the night naked, without clothing,And have no covering in the cold.

8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains,And huddle around the rock for want of shelter.

9. “Some snatch the fatherless from the breast,And take a pledge from the poor.
