Job

Job 24:7–10

⁷Without clothing, they spend the night naked;

they have no covering against the cold.

⁸Drenched by mountain rains,

they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.

⁹The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast;

the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.

¹⁰Without clothing, they wander about naked.

They carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.
