Job 24,2

1 "Hvorfor er tider ikke fastsatt av Den Allmektige,
Og hvorfor oppfatter ikke de som kjenner Ham Hans dager?

Folk flytter grensesteiner;
De tar og fortærer flokker.

3 De driver bort de farløses esler,
De tar enkens okse som pant.

4 De skyver de trengende av veien;
De fattige i landet må gjemme seg sammen.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
