Job 24:11 Context
9They plucke the fatherlesse from the brest, and take a pledge of the poore. 10They cause him to go naked without clothing: and they take away the sheafe from the hungry, 11Which make oyle within their walles, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. 12Men groane from out of the city, and the soule of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. 13They are of those that rebell against the light, they know not the wayes thereof, nor abide in the pathes thereof.
