Job:24

* [Since ] times are not hidden from the Almighty , why do those who know Him not see His days ? * They remove the landmarks ; they seize flocks and feed them . * They drive away the ass of the fatherless ; they take the widow 's ox for a pledge . * They turn the needy out of the way ; the poor of the earth hide themselves together . * 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 . * They reap his fodder in the field ; and they gather the grapes of the wicked . * They lodge the naked without clothing , and [give ] no covering in the cold . * They are wet with the showers of the mountains , and embrace the rock for lack of shelter . * They pluck the fatherless from the breast , and take a pledge from the poor . * They cause [him ] to go naked without clothing , and they take away the sheaves from the hungry . * They press out oil between their walls ; they tread their winepresses , and still suffer thirst . * Men groan from out of the city , and the soul of the wounded cries for help ; yet God does not charge foolishness . * They are of those who rebel against the light ; they know not His ways , nor stay in His paths . * The murderer rising with the light kills the poor and needy , and in the night he is a thief . * And the eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight , saying , No eye will see me ; and he puts a covering on [his ] face . * In the dark they dig through houses [which ] they had marked for themselves in the daytime ; they do not know the light . * For the morning [is ] to them like the shadow of death ; for they know the terrors of the shadow of death . * He [is ] swift on the waters ; their portion is cursed in the earth ; he does not behold the way of the vineyards . * Drought and heat eat up the snow waters ; [so does ] the grave those who have sinned . * 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 . * [He ] ill-treats the women who bear no [children ]; and does no good to the widow . * He also draws the mighty with his power ; he rises up , and no one is sure of life . * He gives safety to him , and he rests on [it ]; yet His eyes [are ] on their ways . * 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 . * And if [it is ] not [so ], who will make me a liar , and make my speech worth nothing ?
