They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
Arrancan a los bebés huérfanos de sus madres, y toman las pertenencias del pobre como pago de deudas.
Los malvados explotan cruelmente a los más vulnerables, quitándoles hasta lo poco que tienen.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the ancient Near East during the patriarchal era, when the Book of Job is set, society was often marked by harsh social inequalities where the vulnerable, such as orphans and the poor, were easily exploited by the powerful. Job, in his lament, describes how the wicked would forcibly take infants from their mothers and demand pledges or collateral from the impoverished, reflecting common practices of oppression in that culture. This highlights the broader biblical emphasis on God's concern for justice and protection of the weak, as later codified in the Mosaic Law.
