Job 24




rotherham@Job:24:1 @ Wherefore, since from the Almighty times are not hid, have, his knowing ones, no vision of his days?

rotherham@Job:24:2 @ Boundaries, men move back, flocks, they seize and consume;

rotherham@Job:24:3 @ The ass of the fatherless, they drive off, they take in pledge the ox of the widow;

rotherham@Job:24:4 @ They turn aside the needy out of the way, at once, are the humbled of the land made to hide themselves.

rotherham@Job:24:5 @ Lo! wild asses in the wilderness, they go forth with their work, eager seekers for prey, the waste plain, yieldeth them food for their young;

rotherham@Job:24:6 @ In the field-a mans fodder, they cut down, and, the vineyard of the lawless, they strip of its late berries;

rotherham@Job:24:7 @ Ill-clad, they are left to lodge without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;

rotherham@Job:24:8 @ With the sweeping rain of the mountains, are they wet, and, through having no shelter, they embrace a rock.

rotherham@Job:24:9 @ Men tear, from the breast, the fatherless, and, over the poor, they take a pledge;

rotherham@Job:24:10 @ Naked, they go about without clothing, and, famished, they carry the sheaves;

rotherham@Job:24:11 @ Between their walls, are they exposed to the sun, Wine-presses, they tread, and yet are thirsty;

rotherham@Job:24:12 @ Out of the cityout of the houses, they make outcry. and, the soul of the wounded, calleth for help, and, GOD, doth not regard it as foolish.

rotherham@Job:24:13 @ They, have become rebels against the light, they are not acquainted with the ways thereof, neither abide they in the paths thereof.

rotherham@Job:24:14 @ With the light, riseth the murderer, He slayeth the poor and needy, And, in the night, he becometh like a thief.

rotherham@Job:24:15 @ And, the eye of the adulterer, watcheth for the evening twilight, saying, Not an eye will see me! A covering for the face, he putteth on;

rotherham@Job:24:16 @ He breaketh, in the dark, into houses, By day, they lock themselves in, They know not the light;

rotherham@Job:24:17 @ For, in the case of all such, morning to them is the death-shade, For, to be recognised, is a death-shade terror.

rotherham@Job:24:18 @ Swift is he on the face of the waters, Speedily vanished their share in the land, He turneth not to the way of the vineyards.

rotherham@Job:24:19 @ Drought and heat, steal away snow water, Hades, them who have sinned.

rotherham@Job:24:20 @ Maternal love shall forget him, the worm shall find him sweet, No more shall he be remembered, but perversity shall be shivered like a tree.

rotherham@Job:24:21 @ He oppresseth the barren who beareth not, and, to the widow, he doeth not good;

rotherham@Job:24:22 @ Yea he draggeth along the mighty by his strength, He riseth up, and none hath assurance of life;

rotherham@Job:24:23 @ It is given him to be secure, and confident, yet, his eyes, are upon their ways.

rotherham@Job:24:24 @ They are exalted a little, and are not, Yea having been laid low, like all men, are they gathered, Even as the top of an ear of corn, do they hang down.

rotherham@Job:24:25 @ But, if not, who then can convict me of falsehood? or make of no account my words?
