Job 24:3 in context

  1. 1“Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty?
    Why don’t those who know him see his days?
  2. 2There are people who remove the landmarks.
    They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
  3. 3They drive away the donkey of the fatherless,
    and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
  4. 4They turn the needy out of the way.
    The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
  5. 5Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,
    they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food.
    The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
