donkey orphans drive_away take_~_apledge ox widow's
Job is not referring to a specific donkey, fatherless person, ox, or widow. He means those animals and people in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “Wicked people lead away donkeys that belong to fatherless people; they take in pledge oxen that belong to widows”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
יְתוֹמִ֣ים
orphans
Job is using the adjective fatherless as a noun to mean a certain group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “children whose fathers have died” or “orphans”
