Job 24:12-14

The Voice

¹²    At the outskirts of the city, the oppressed groan,
        wounded souls crying for help,
        but God fails to charge the guilty who have brought them such pain.

¹³    They were among those who rebel against the light.
        They don’t want to know what makes it shine,
        nor do they live their lives in its paths.
¹⁴    It is not the poor and the victim who rebel.
        It is the murderer who rises before first light
    And kills the poor and the needy.
        And in the dark of night, he becomes the thief.
