New King James Version

Job 24:9-14 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

10. They cause the poor to go naked, without clothing;And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.

11. They press out oil within their walls,And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst.

12. The dying groan in the city,And the souls of the wounded cry out;Yet God does not charge them with wrong.

13. “There are those who rebel against the light;They do not know its waysNor abide in its paths.

14. The murderer rises with the light;He kills the poor and needy;And in the night he is like a thief.
