ylt - Job:23-24

ylt@Job:23:1 @And Job answereth and saith: --

ylt@Job:23:2 @Also -- to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.

ylt@Job:23:3 @O that I had known -- and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,

ylt@Job:23:4 @I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments.

ylt@Job:23:5 @I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.

ylt@Job:23:6 @In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth [it] in me.

ylt@Job:23:7 @There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.

ylt@Job:23:8 @Lo, forward I go -- and He is not, And backward -- and I perceive him not.

ylt@Job:23:9 @[To] the left in His working -- and I see not, He is covered [on] the right, and I behold not.

ylt@Job:23:10 @For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.

ylt@Job:23:11 @On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,

ylt@Job:23:12 @The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.

ylt@Job:23:13 @And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired -- and He doth [it].

ylt@Job:23:14 @For He doth complete my portion, And many such things [are] with Him.

ylt@Job:23:15 @Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.

ylt@Job:23:16 @And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.

ylt@Job:23:17 @For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.

ylt@Job:24:1 @Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.

ylt@Job:24:2 @The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil.

ylt@Job:24:3 @The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,

ylt@Job:24:4 @They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.

ylt@Job:24:5 @Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself -- food for young ones.

ylt@Job:24:6 @In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean.

ylt@Job:24:7 @The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.

ylt@Job:24:8 @From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge -- have embraced a rock.

ylt@Job:24:9 @They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.

ylt@Job:24:10 @Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry -- have taken away a sheaf.

ylt@Job:24:11 @Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst.

ylt@Job:24:12 @Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.

ylt@Job:24:13 @They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths.

ylt@Job:24:14 @At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.

ylt@Job:24:15 @And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, 'No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret.

ylt@Job:24:16 @He hath dug in the darkness -- houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light.

ylt@Job:24:17 @When together, morning [is] to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.

ylt@Job:24:18 @Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.

ylt@Job:24:19 @Drought -- also heat -- consume snow-waters, Sheol [those who] have sinned.

ylt@Job:24:20 @Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten [on] him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness.

ylt@Job:24:21 @Treating evil the barren [who] beareth not, And [to] the widow he doth no good,

ylt@Job:24:22 @And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.

ylt@Job:24:23 @He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes [are] on their ways.

ylt@Job:24:24 @High they were [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all [others] they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.

ylt@Job:24:25 @And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?

ylt@Job:25:1 @And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --
