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