chapter_Job_24
Job 24:1: Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days. Job 24:2: The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil. Job 24:3: The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow, Job 24:4: They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth. Job 24:5: Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself &#8212; food for young ones. Job 24:6: In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean. Job 24:7: The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold. Job 24:8: From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge &#8212; have embraced a rock. Job 24:9: They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge. Job 24:10: Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry &#8212; have taken away a sheaf. Job 24:11: Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst. Job 24:12: Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise. Job 24:13: They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths. Job 24:14: At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief. Job 24:15: And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, 'No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret. Job 24:16: He hath dug in the darkness &#8212; houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light. Job 24:17: When together, morning is to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade. Job 24:18: Light he is on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards. Job 24:19: Drought &#8212; also heat &#8212; consume snow-waters, Sheol those who have sinned. Job 24:20: Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten on him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness. Job 24:21: Treating evil the barren who beareth not, And to the widow he doth no good, Job 24:22: And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life. Job 24:23: He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes are on their ways. Job 24:24: High they were for a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all others they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off. Job 24:25: And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?
