rotherham Job:24-27
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?
rotherham@Job:25:1 @ Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
rotherham@Job:25:2 @ Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;
rotherham@Job:25:3 @ Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?
rotherham@Job:25:4 @ How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?
rotherham@Job:25:5 @ Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!
rotherham@Job:25:6 @ How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
rotherham@Job:26:1 @ Then responded Job, and said:
rotherham@Job:26:2 @ How hast thou given help to one of no-strength? given victory to an arm of no-power?
rotherham@Job:26:3 @ How hast thou given counsel to one of no-wisdom? or, effective wisdom, abundantly made known?
rotherham@Job:26:4 @ Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?
rotherham@Job:26:5 @ The shades, tremble, beneath the waters and their inhabitants;
rotherham@Job:26:6 @ Naked is hades before him, and there is no covering to destruction;
rotherham@Job:26:7 @ Who stretcheth out the north over emptiness, hangeth the earth upon nothingness;
rotherham@Job:26:8 @ Who bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent beneath them;
rotherham@Job:26:9 @ Who shutteth-in the face of the throne, he spreadeth over it his cloud;
rotherham@Job:26:10 @ A, boundary, hath he encircled on the face of the waters, as far as where light ends in darkness;
rotherham@Job:26:11 @ The pillars of the heavens, are shaken, and are terrified at his rebuke:
rotherham@Job:26:12 @ By his strength, hath he excited the sea, and, by his skill, hath he shattered the Crocodile:
rotherham@Job:26:13 @ By his spirit, hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing serpent.
rotherham@Job:26:14 @ Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?
rotherham@Job:27:1 @ And Job again took up his measure, and said:
rotherham@Job:27:2 @ As GOD liveth who hath taken away my right, even the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul;
rotherham@Job:27:3 @ All the while my inspiration is in me, and the spirit of GOD is in my nostrils,
rotherham@Job:27:4 @ Verily my lips shall not speak perversity, nor shall, my tongue, utter deceit.
rotherham@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me! that I should justify, you, Even until I breathe my last, will I not let go mine integrity from me:
rotherham@Job:27:6 @ On my righteousness, have I taken fast hold, and will not give it up, My heart shall not reproach any of my days.
rotherham@Job:27:7 @ Let mine enemy be a veritably lawless one! And, he that lifteth himself up against me, one veritably perverse!
rotherham@Job:27:8 @ For what shall be the hope of the impious, though he graspeth with greed, when GOD shall draw forth his soul?
rotherham@Job:27:9 @ His outcry, will GOD hear, when there cometh upon him distress?
rotherham@Job:27:10 @ Verily, in the Almighty, he will not find delight, nor call on GOD continually!
rotherham@Job:27:11 @ I would teach you, by the hand of GOD, That which is with the Almighty, will I not conceal.
rotherham@Job:27:12 @ Lo! ye, have, all of you, seen, Wherefore, then, is it, that ye are utterly without purpose?
rotherham@Job:27:13 @ This, is the portion of a lawless man with GOD, That, the heritage of tyrantsfrom the Almighty, he shall receive.
rotherham@Job:27:14 @ If his children be multiplied, for them, the sword, and, his offspring, shall not be filled with bread;
rotherham@Job:27:15 @ His survivors, by pestilence, shall come to the grave, and, his widows, shall not weep;
rotherham@Job:27:16 @ Though he heap up silver like, dust, and, like a pile, he prepare clothing,
rotherham@Job:27:17 @ He may prepare, but, the righteous, shall put on, and, the silver, shall the innocent apportion.
rotherham@Job:27:18 @ He hath built, like a moth, his house, like a hut, which a watcher hath made.
rotherham@Job:27:19 @ The rich man, shall lie down, and not do it again, his eyes, hath he opened, and then is not.
rotherham@Job:27:20 @ There shall reach himlike watersterrors, By night, a storm-wind hath stolen him away;
rotherham@Job:27:21 @ An east wind shall lift him up, and he shall depart, and it shall sweep him away out of his place;
rotherham@Job:27:22 @ And He will cast upon him and not spare, Out of his hand, shall he, swiftly flee;
rotherham@Job:27:23 @ He shall clap over him his hands, and shall hiss him forth out of his place.
rotherham@Job:28:1 @ Though there is, for silver, a vein, and a place for the gold they refine;
