How to Get Exiled #6

Job 24:

 “Why are not times of judgment kept by the Almighty,
    and why do those who know him never see his days?
2 Some move landmarks;
    they seize flocks and pasture them.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
    they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They thrust the poor off the road;
    the poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5 Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
    the poor go out to their toil, seeking game;
    the wasteland yields food for their children.
6 They gather their fodder in the field,
    and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.
7 They lie all night naked, without clothing,
    and have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the rain of the mountains
    and cling to the rock for lack of shelter.
9 (There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast,
    and they take a pledge against the poor.)

As Job was responding to his "friends," he at times really vented some of his inner struggles. Here he pines about all the injustice done in the world, especially to the poor: theft, intimidation, neglect, homelessness - even child abduction(human trafficking. Knowing that Job lived during the times of the Patriarchs, this passage is even more stunning: these things have been around a long time, yet still are not outwardly spoken often.  The question is: who will stand up for justice for them?  Who will have compassion on them? Will it be us?
