24:1 “Why are times not appointed by 1 the Almighty? 2
Why do those who know him not see his days?
24:2 Men 3 move boundary stones;
they seize the flock and pasture them. 4
24:3 They drive away the orphan’s donkey;
they take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
24:4 They turn the needy from the pathway,
and the poor of the land hide themselves together. 5
24:5 Like 6 wild donkeys in the desert
they 7 go out to their labor, 8
seeking diligently for food;
the wasteland provides 9 food for them
and for their children.
24:6 They reap fodder 10 in the field,
and glean 11 in the vineyard of the wicked.
