Job 24:8-12
They are drenched by mountain rains and hug the rocks for lack of shelter.The fatherless child is snatched from the breast; the infant of the poor is seized for a debt.Lacking clothes, they go about naked; they carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.They crush olives among the terraces; they tread the winepresses, yet suffer thirst.The groans of the dying rise from the city, and the souls of the wounded cry out for help. But God charges no one with wrongdoing. (niv)

Job 30:3-9
Haggard from want and hunger, they roamed the parched land in desolate wastelands at night.In the brush they gathered salt herbs, and their food was the root of the broom bush.They were banished from human society, shouted at as if they were thieves.They were forced to live in the dry stream beds, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.They brayed among the bushes and huddled in the undergrowth.A base and nameless brood, they were driven out of the land.“ And now those young men mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
