Job 24:3-5
Living Bible
3 and even the donkeys of the poor and fatherless are taken. Poor widows must surrender the little they have as a pledge to get a loan. 4 The needy are kicked aside; they must get out of the way. 5 Like the wild donkeys in the desert, the poor must spend all their time just getting barely enough to keep soul and body together. They are sent into the desert to search for food for their children.

3 They drive away the orphan’s donkey
and take the widow’s ox in pledge.(A)
4 They thrust the needy(B) from the path
and force all the poor(C) of the land into hiding.(D)

the poor go about their labor(F) of foraging food;
