LITV - Job - 24

24:1  Why since times are not hidden from the Almighty, even those knowing Him do not see His days?

24:2  They move the landmarks; they seize and pasture flocks;

24:3  If they drive away the ass of orphans; they take the widow's ox for a pledge;

24:4  They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth have hidden together.

24:5  Behold, like wild asses in the desert, they go out in their work, seeking early for prey; the desert yields food for him for their young.

24:6  They reap his fodder in the field, and they glean the wicked's vineyard.

24:7  They lodge naked ones without clothing, and give no cover against the cold.

24:8  They are wet with the showers of hills, and embrace the rock for lack of shelter.

24:9  They seize the orphan from the breast, and lay a pledge on the poor.

24:10  They make them go without clothing, and hungry they lift up the sheaves.

24:11  They press out oil between their walls; they tread winepresses, but are thirsty.

24:12  Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded cries for help; yet God does not charge unseemliness.

24:13  They are among rebellers against light; they do not recognize His ways, nor do they stay in His paths.

24:14  The murderer rising with the light kills the poor and needy, and in the night he is a thief.

24:15  And the adulterer's eye keeps watch for twilight, saying, No eye will see me; and he puts a covering on his face.

24:16  In the dark he digs through houses; they shut themselves up by day; they do not know the light.

24:17  For alike are morning and the shadow of death to them; for he knows the terrors of death shadow.

24:18  He is swift on the waters; their part is cursed in the earth; he does not face the way of the vineyards.

24:19  Drought and heat eat up the snow waters; Sheol those who have sinned.

24:20  The womb shall forget him; the worm shall suck on him; he shall be remembered no more; and injustice shall be broken like a tree.

24:21  He ill treats the barren that bear not, and does no good to the widow.

24:22  He also draws the mighty with his strength; He rises up, and no one is sure of life.

24:23  He gives security to him, and he leans on it ; yet His eyes are on their ways.

24:24  They are lifted up for a little while, but they are not; and they are brought low; they are gathered in like all others , and wither like the heads of ears of grain.

24:25  And if not, then who will prove me a liar, and make my speech into nothing?
