mkjv@Job:24:1 @ [Since] times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him not see His days?

mkjv@Job:24:2 @ They remove the landmarks; they seize flocks and feed them.

mkjv@Job:24:3 @ They drive away the ass of the fatherless; they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

mkjv@Job:24:4 @ They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

mkjv@Job:24:5 @ Behold, [like] wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, rising early for a prey. The wilderness [yields] food for them and for [their] children.

mkjv@Job:24:6 @ They reap his fodder in the field; and they gather the grapes of the wicked.

mkjv@Job:24:7 @ They lodge the naked without clothing, and [give] no covering in the cold.

mkjv@Job:24:8 @ They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of shelter.

mkjv@Job:24:9 @ They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge from the poor.

mkjv@Job:24:10 @ They cause [him] to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaves from the hungry.

mkjv@Job:24:11 @ They press out oil between their walls; they tread their winepresses, and still suffer thirst.

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

mkjv@Job:24:13 @ They are of those who rebel against the light; they know not His ways, nor stay in His paths.

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

mkjv@Job:24:15 @ And the eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye will see me; and he puts a covering on [his] face.

mkjv@Job:24:16 @ In the dark they dig through houses [which] they had marked for themselves in the daytime; they do not know the light.

mkjv@Job:24:17 @ For the morning [is] to them like the shadow of death; for they know the terrors of the shadow of death.

mkjv@Job:24:18 @ He [is] swift on the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; he does not behold the way of the vineyards.

mkjv@Job:24:19 @ Drought and heat eat up the snow waters; [so does] the grave those who have sinned.

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

mkjv@Job:24:21 @ [He] ill-treats the women who bear no [children]; and does no good to the widow.

mkjv@Job:24:22 @ He also draws the mighty with his power; he rises up, and no one is sure of life.

mkjv@Job:24:23 @ He gives safety to him, and he rests on [it]; yet His eyes [are] on their ways.

mkjv@Job:24:24 @ They are lifted up for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are gathered in like all [others], and are cut off like the heads of the ears of grain.

mkjv@Job:24:25 @ And if [it is] not [so], who will make me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?
