Job 24:7–10

7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;

they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.

8 They are drenched by mountain rains

and hug the rocks for lack of shelter.

9 The fatherless child is snatched from the breast;

the infant of the poor is seized for a debt.

10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;

they carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.

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.

9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast,

And take a pledge of the poor.

10 They cause him to go naked without clothing,

And they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

7 All night they lie naked in the cold,

without clothing or covering.

8 They are soaked by mountain showers,

and they huddle against the rocks for want of a home.

9 “The wicked snatch a widow’s child from her breast,

taking the baby as security for a loan.

10 The poor must go about naked, without any clothing.

They harvest food for others while they themselves are starving.

7 They spend the night naked, without clothing,

And have no covering in the cold.

8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,

And huddle around the rock for want of shelter.

9 “Some snatch the fatherless from the breast,

And take a pledge from the poor.

10 They cause the poor to go naked, without clothing;

And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.

7 They spend the night naked, because they have no clothes,

nothing to cover themselves in the cold.

8 They are soaked from mountain rains

and stay near the large rocks because they have no shelter.

9 The fatherless child is grabbed from its mother’s breast;

they take a poor mother’s baby to pay for what she owes.

10 So the poor go around naked without any clothes;

they carry bundles of grain but still go hungry;

7 They lie all night naked without clothing,

And 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.

9 There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast,

And take a pledge of the poor;

10 So that they go about naked without clothing,

And being hungry they carry the sheaves.

7 They pass the night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold; 8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and for want of a shelter embrace the rock… 9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor: 10 These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;

7 All night they lie naked 

without a covering from the cold. 

8 They are drenched by the rainstorms in the mountains. 

They hug the rocks because they can’t find shelter. 

9 “⸤People⸥ snatch the ⸤nursing⸥ orphan from a breast 

and take a poor woman’s baby as security for a loan. 

10 ⸤That is why⸥ the poor go around naked. 

They are hungry, yet they carry bundles of grain. 

7 Without clothing, they spend the night naked,

having no covering against the cold.

8 Drenched by mountain rains,

they huddle against the rocks, shelterless.

9 The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast;

the nursing child of the poor is seized as collateral.

10 Without clothing, they wander about naked.

They carry sheaves but go hungry.

7 They lie all night naked, without clothing,

and have no covering in the cold.

8 They are wet with the rain of the mountains

and cling to the rock for want of shelter.

9 “There are those who snatch the orphan child from the breast

and take as a pledge the infant of the poor.

10 They go about naked, without clothing;

though hungry, they carry the sheaves;

7 They spend the night naked, without clothing,

and they have no garment in the cold.

8 They are wet from the rainstorm of the mountains,

and they cling to the rock without refuge.

9 “They snatch the orphan from the breast,

and they take a pledge against the needy.

10 They go about naked, without clothing,

and hungry, they carry the sheaves.

7 The poor don’t have any clothes. So they spend the night naked.

They don’t have anything to cover themselves in the cold.

8 They are soaked by mountain rains.

They hug the rocks because they don’t have anything to keep them warm.

9 Children whose fathers have died

are torn away from their mothers.

A poor person’s baby is taken away to pay back what is owed.

10 The poor don’t have any clothes. They go around naked.

They carry bundles of grain, but they still go hungry.

7 “They spend the night naked, without clothing,

And have no covering against the cold.

8 “They are wet with the mountain rains

And hug the rock for want of a shelter.

9 “Others snatch the orphan from the breast,

And against the poor they take a pledge.

10 “They cause the poor to go about naked without clothing,

And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.
