Job 24:4-8
King James Version
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
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.

Job 24:4-8
New King James Version
4 They push the needy off the road;
All the (A)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 field
And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
7 They (B)spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
And (C)huddle around the rock for want of shelter.
Job 24:4-8
English Standard Version
4 They (A)thrust the poor off the road;
the poor of the earth (B)all hide themselves.
5 Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
the poor[a] (C)go out to their toil, (D)seeking game;
the wasteland yields food for their children.
6 They gather their[b] fodder in the field,
and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.
7 They (E)lie all night naked, without clothing,
and have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the rain of the mountains
and (F)cling to the rock for lack of shelter.
Job 24:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 They push (A)the needy aside from the road;
The (B)poor of the land have to hide themselves together.
5 Behold, like (C)wild donkeys in the wilderness
They (D)go out scavenging for food in their activity,
As [a]bread for their children in the desert.
6 They harvest their feed in the field
And glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7 (E)They spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering against the cold.
8 They are wet from the mountain rains,
And they hug the rock for lack of a shelter.
