Job 24:12

Read in context

Job 24:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.

11 They crush olives within their walls; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.

12 From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.

13 Then there are those who rebel against the light, not knowing its ways or staying on its paths.

14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.
