Job's Eighth Speech, Continued

3 The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow, 4 They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth. 5 Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself -- food for young ones.
