Job 24

1WhyH4069 are timesH6256 not laid up by the AlmightyH7706? And whyH4069 do not they that knowH3045 him seeH2372 his daysH3117?2There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take awayH1497 flocksH5739, and feedH7462 them.3They drive awayH5090 the ass of the fatherlessH3490; They takeH2254 the widow’sH490 oxH7794 for a pledge.4They turnH5186 the needyH34 out of the wayH1870: The poor of the earthH776 all hideH2244 themselves.5Behold, as wildH6501 asses in the desertH6160 They goH3318 forthH3318 to their workH6467, seekingH7836 diligently for foodH3899; The wildernessH4057yieldeththem breadH3899 for their children.6They cut their provender in the fieldH7704; And they glean the vintage of the wickedH7563.7They lie all night nakedH6174 without clothingH3830, And have no coveringH3682 in the cold.8They are wet with the showers of the mountainsH2022, And embraceH2263 the rockH6697 for want of a shelterH4268.9There are that pluck the fatherlessH3490 from the breastH7699, And takeH2254 a pledge of the poorH6041;10So thatthey goH1980 about nakedH6174 without clothingH3830, And being hungryH7456 they carryH5375 the sheaves.11They make oil within the wallsH7791 of these men; They treadH1869theirwinepressesH3342, and suffer thirst.12From out of the populous cityH5892 men groanH5008, And the soulH5315 of the woundedH2491 crieth out: Yet GodH433 regardeth not the folly.13These are of them that rebelH4775 against the lightH216; They know not the waysH1870 thereof, Nor abide in the pathsH5410 thereof.14The murdererH7523 riseth with the lightH216; He killeth the poorH6041 and needyH34; And in the nightH3915 he is as a thiefH1590.15The eyeH5869 also of the adultererH5003 waiteth for the twilightH5399, SayingH559, No eyeH5869 shall see me: And he disguiseth his faceH6440.16In the dark they digH2864 through housesH1004: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They knowH3045 not the lightH216.17For the morningH1242 is to all of them as thick darknessH6757; For they know the terrorsH1091 of the thick darknessH6757.18Swiftly theypass awayH6437upon the faceH6440 of the watersH4325; Their portionH2513 is cursedH7043 in the earthH776: They turnH6437 not into the wayH1870 of the vineyardsH3754.19Drought and heatH2527 consume the snowH7950 watersH4325: So dothSheolH7585those thathave sinnedH2398.20The wombH7358 shall forgetH7911 him; The worm shall feed sweetly on him; He shall be no more rememberedH2142; And unrighteousnessH5766 shall be brokenH7665 as a treeH6086.21He devoureth the barrenH6135 that beareth not, And doeth not goodH3190 to the widowH490.22YetGod preserveth the mightyH47 by his powerH3581: He riseth up that hath no assurance of lifeH2416.23God giveth them to be in securityH983, and they rest thereon; And his eyesH5869 are upon their waysH1870.24They are exalted; yet a littleH4592 while, and they are gone; Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, And are cut off as the topsH7218 of the earsH7641 of grainH7641.25And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liarH3576, And makeH7760 my speechH4405 nothing worth?
