Job 24
1 Why are times not stored up by the Ruler of all, and why do those who have knowledge of him not see his days?
Why? from [the] Almighty not have they been stored up times (and [those who] know him *Q(K)*) not have they seen? days his.
2 The landmarks are changed by evil men, they violently take away flocks, together with their keepers.
Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
3 They send away the ass of him who has no father, they take the widow's ox for debt.
[the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
4 The crushed are turned out of the way; all the poor of the earth go into a secret place together.
They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
5 Like asses in the waste land they go out to their work, looking for food with care; from the waste land they get bread for their children.
There! wild donkeys - in the wilderness they go forth in work their seeking for food a desert plain to it food for the children.
6 They get mixed grain from the field, and they take away the late fruit from the vines of those who have wealth.
In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
7 They take their rest at night without clothing, and have no cover in the cold.
Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
8 They are wet with the rain of the mountains, and get into the cracks of the rock for cover.
From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
9 The child without a father is forced from its mother's breast, and they take the young children of the poor for debt.
People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
10 Others go about without clothing, and though they have no food, they get in the grain from the fields.
Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
11 Between the lines of olive-trees they make oil; though they have no drink, they are crushing out the grapes.
Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
12 From the town come sounds of pain from those who are near death, and the soul of the wounded is crying out for help; but God does not take note of their prayer.
From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
13 Then there are those who are haters of the light, who have no knowledge of its ways, and do not go in them.
They - they are among [those who] rebel against [the] light not they pay regard to ways its and not they dwell in paths its.
14 He who is purposing death gets up before day, so that he may put to death the poor and those in need.
To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
15 And the man whose desire is for the wife of another is waiting for the evening, saying, No eye will see me; and he puts a cover on his face. And in the night the thief goes about;
And [the] eye of an adulterer - it watches for twilight saying not it will observe me an eye and covering of face he puts.
16 In the dark he makes holes in the walls of houses: in the daytime they are shutting themselves up, they have no knowledge of the light.
He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
17 For the middle of the night is as morning to them, they are not troubled by the fear of the dark.
For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
18 They go quickly on the face of the waters; their heritage is cursed in the earth; the steps of the crusher of grapes are not turned to their vine-garden.
[is] swift He - on [the] surface of [the] waters it is cursed portion their in the land not anyone turns [the] direction of vineyards.
Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 The public place of his town has no more knowledge of him, and his name has gone from the memory of men: he is rooted up like a dead tree.
It forgets him [the] womb - it sucks on him maggot[s] again not he is remembered and it was broken like tree injustice.
21 He is not kind to the widow, and he has no pity for her child.
[he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
22 But God by his power gives long life to the strong; he gets up again, though he has no hope of life.
And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
23 He takes away his fear of danger and gives him support; and his eyes are on his ways.
He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
24 For a short time they are lifted up; then they are gone; they are made low, they are pulled off like fruit, and like the heads of grain they are cut off.
They are exalted a little - and there not [is] he and they are brought low like everyone they are contracted! and like a head of grain they wither.
25 And if it is not so, now, who will make it clear that my words are false, and that what I say is of no value?
And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
