Job 24:5-11
King James Version
Job 24:5-11
King James Version
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

Job 24:5-11
New International Version
5 Like wild donkeys(A) in the desert,
the poor go about their labor(B) of foraging food;
the wasteland(C) provides food for their children.
6 They gather fodder(D) in the fields
and glean in the vineyards(E) of the wicked.(F)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(G)
8 They are drenched(H) by mountain rains
and hug(I) the rocks for lack of shelter.(J)
9 The fatherless(K) child is snatched(L) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(M) for a debt.(N)
10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;(O)
they carry the sheaves,(P) but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives among the terraces[a];
they tread the winepresses,(Q) yet suffer thirst.(R)
