Job 22:6–9

For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing

and stripped the naked of their clothing.

You have given no water to the weary to drink,

and you have withheld bread from the hungry.

The man with power possessed the land,

and the favored man lived in it.

You have sent widows away empty,

and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.

For you took collateral from your brothers without cause,

stripping off their clothes and leaving them naked.

You gave no water to the thirsty

and withheld food from the famished,

while the land belonged to a powerful man

and an influential man lived on it.

You sent widows away empty-handed,

and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.

“For example, you must have lent money to your friend

and demanded clothing as security.

Yes, you stripped him to the bone.

You must have refused water for the thirsty

and food for the hungry.

You probably think the land belongs to the powerful

and only the privileged have a right to it!

You must have sent widows away empty-handed

and crushed the hopes of orphans.

“Indeed, you have required a pledge from your family for nothing,

and you have stripped off the clothes of the naked.

You have given no water for the weary to drink,

and you withheld food from the hungry.

And the land belongs to the man of power,

and the favored lives in it.

You have sent widows away empty-handed,

and the arms of orphans were crushed.

For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought,

And stripped the naked of their clothing.

Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink,

And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth;

And the honourable man dwelt in it.

Thou hast sent widows away empty,

And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
