Bible verse
Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.
Job 24:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 24.
4 They push the needy off the road and force all the poor of the land into hiding.
5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go to work foraging for food; the wasteland is food for their children.
6 They gather fodder in the fields and glean the vineyards of the wicked.
7 Without clothing, they spend the night naked; they have no covering against the cold.
8 Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.
9 The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.
10 Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives within their walls; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
12 From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.
