Job 24:1-12

“I wish the Almighty would set a time for judging. Those who know God do not see such a day. Wicked people take other people’s land; they steal flocks and take them to new pastures. They chase away the orphan’s donkey and take the widow’s ox when she has no money. They push needy people off the path; all the poor of the land hide from them. The poor become like wild donkeys in the desert who go about their job of finding food. The desert gives them food for their children. They gather hay and straw in the fields and pick up leftover grapes from the vineyard of the wicked. They spend the night naked, because they have no clothes, nothing to cover themselves in the cold. They are soaked from mountain rains and stay near the large rocks because they have no shelter. The fatherless child is grabbed from its mother’s breast; they take a poor mother’s baby to pay for what she owes. So the poor go around naked without any clothes; they carry bundles of grain but still go hungry; they crush olives to get oil and grapes to get wine, but they still go thirsty. Dying people groan in the city, and the injured cry out for help, but God accuses no one of doing wrong.
