Job 24:1-12

“Why does the Almighty not set seasons for judgment? Why do those who know Him not see His days [for punishment of the wicked]? [Acts 1:7] “Some remove the landmarks; They [violently] seize and pasture flocks [appropriating land and flocks openly]. “They drive away the donkeys of the orphans; They take the widow’s ox for a pledge. “They crowd the needy off the road; The poor of the land all hide themselves. “Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, The poor go to their work, diligently seeking food; As bread for their children in the desert. “They harvest their fodder in a field [that is not their own], And glean the vineyard of the wicked. “They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering against the cold. “They are wet from the rain of the mountains And cling to the rock for lack of shelter. “Others snatch the fatherless [infants] from the breast [to sell or make them slaves], And against the poor they take a pledge [of clothing]. “They cause the poor to go about naked without clothing, And they take away the sheaves [of grain] from the hungry. “Within the walls [of the wicked] the poor make [olive] oil; They tread [the grapes in] the wine presses, but thirst. “From the [populous and crowded] city men groan, And the souls of the wounded cry out for help; Yet God [seemingly] does not pay attention to the wrong [done to them].
