Job 24:5 in Context — Job 24
3 On enlève l’âne de l’orphelin, On prend pour gage le bœuf de la veuve;
4 On repousse du chemin les indigents, On force tous les malheureux du pays à se cacher.
5 Et voici, comme les ânes sauvages du désert, Ils sortent le matin pour chercher de la nourriture, Ils n’ont que le désert pour trouver le pain de leurs enfants;
6 Ils coupent le fourrage qui reste dans les champs, Ils grappillent dans la vigne de l’impie;
7 Ils passent la nuit dans la nudité, sans vêtement, Sans couverture contre le froid;
