Job Complains of Violence on the Earth
1 “
Since atimes are not hidden from the Almighty,
Why do those who know Him see not His
bdays?
2 “
Some remove
alandmarks;
They seize flocks violently and feed
on them;
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
They
atake the widow’s ox as a pledge.
4 They push the needy off the road;
All the
apoor 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
aspend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
And
ahuddle around the rock for want of shelter.
9 “
Some snatch the fatherless from the breast,
And take a pledge from the poor.
