## Job 24:5-12 in Context (Verses 2–15 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/job/24/2) *Some* remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed *thereof*.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/job/24/3) They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/job/24/4) They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/job/24/5) Behold, *as* wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness *yieldeth* food for them *and* for *their* children.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/job/24/6) They reap *every one* his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.**
 
 [7 ](/kjv/job/24/7) They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that *they have* no covering in the cold.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/job/24/8) They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/job/24/9) They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/job/24/10) They cause *him* to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf *from* the hungry;
 
 [11 ](/kjv/job/24/11) *Which* make oil within their walls, *and* tread *their* winepresses, and suffer thirst.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/job/24/12) Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly *to them*.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/job/24/13) They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/job/24/14) The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/job/24/15) The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth *his* face.*
