Job 24:7

Read in context

Job 24:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go to work foraging for food; the wasteland is food for their children.

6 They gather fodder in the fields and glean the vineyards of the wicked.

7 Without clothing, they spend the night naked; they have no covering against the cold.

8 Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.

9 The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.
