Job 24

  1. Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? 🔗
  2. Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. 🔗
  3. They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow2019s ox for a pledge. 🔗
  4. They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. 🔗
  5. Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. 🔗
  6. They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. 🔗
  7. They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. 🔗
  8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 🔗
  9. They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 🔗
  10. They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry; 🔗
  11. Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. 🔗
  12. Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. 🔗
  13. They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. 🔗
  14. The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. 🔗
  15. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. 🔗
  16. In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. 🔗
  17. For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. 🔗
  18. He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. 🔗
  19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. 🔗
  20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. 🔗
  21. He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. 🔗
  22. He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. 🔗
  23. Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. 🔗
  24. They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. 🔗
  25. And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? 🔗
