They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 24 of Job. Job recognizes that God is sovereign and that his purposes cannot be altered by human beings, but immediately asks why the times of judgment seem hidden. He describes cases of oppression against the poor, orphans, and needy. The argument expands from his personal suffering to the universal problem of the apparent delay of justice.

Man reißt das Kind von den Brüsten und macht's zum Waisen und macht die Leute arm mit Pfänden.
Quitan el pecho a los huérfanos, Y de sobre el pobre toman la prenda.
Los malvados arrancan al huérfano del pecho y toman en prenda lo que lleva el pobre.
On arrache l'orphelin à la mamelle, On prend des gages sur le pauvre.
Rapiscono l’orfano dalla poppa, E prendono pegno dal povero.
Ao orfãozinho arrancam dos peitos, e tomam o penhor do pobre.
又有人從母懷中搶走孤兒, 在困苦人身上強取抵押品 。
