Job 24:9 in Context — Job 24

7 Passam a noite nus, por falta de roupa; sem terem coberta contra o frio.

8 Pelas correntes das montanhas são molhados e, não tendo abrigo, abraçam-se às rochas.

9 [Há os que] arrancam ao órfão do peito, e do pobre tomam penhor.

10 Ao nus fazem andar sem vestes, e fazem os famintos carregarem feixes.

11 Entre suas paredes espremem o azeite; pisam nas prensas de uvas, e [ainda] têm sede.
