Book 18 Job Chapter 024

 

024:001Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they
that know him not see his days?

 

024:002Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks,
and feed thereof.

 

024:003They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the
widow's ox for a pledge.

 

024:004They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide
themselves together.

 

024:005Behold, 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.

 

024:006They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the
vintage of the wicked.

 

024:007They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have
no covering in the cold.

 

024:008They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace
the rock for want of a shelter.

 

024:009They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge
of the poor.

 

024:010They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take
away the sheaf from the hungry;

 

024:011Which make oil within their walls, and tread their
winepresses, and suffer thirst.

 

024:012Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded
crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

 

024:013They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not
the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

 

024:014The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy,
and in the night is as a thief.

 

024:015The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

 

024:016In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for
themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

 

024:017For 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.

 

024:018He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the
earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

 

024:019Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave
those which have sinned.

 

024:020The 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.

 

024:021He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not
good to the widow.

 

024:022He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and
no man is sure of life.

 

024:023Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth;
yet his eyes are upon their ways.

 

024:024They 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.

 

024:025And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my
speech nothing worth?
