Job 24
1 Why? from [the] Almighty not have they been stored up times (and [those who] know him *Q(K)*) not have they seen? days his.
But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord,
2 Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
while the ungodly have passed over the bound, carrying off the flock with the shepherd?
3 [the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
They have led away, the ass of the fatherless, and taken the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
They have turned aside the weak from the right way: and the meek of the earth have hidden themselves together.
5 There! wild donkeys - in the wilderness they go forth in work their seeking for food a desert plain to it food for the children.
And they have departed like asses in the field, having gone forth on my account according to their own order: his bread is sweet to [his] little ones.
6 In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: the poor have laboured in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food.
7 Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes, and they have taken away the covering of their body.
8 From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
They are wet with the drops of the mountains: they have embraced the rock, because they had no shelter.
9 People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
They have snatched the fatherless from the breast, and have afflicted the outcast.
10 Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
And they have wrongfully caused [others] to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry.
11 Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, and have not known the righteous way.
12 From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
Who have cast forth [the] poor from the city and their own houses, and the soul of the children has groaned aloud.
13 They - they are among [those who] rebel against [the] light not they pay regard to ways its and not they dwell in paths its.
Why then has he not visited these? forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, and they knew not the way of righteousness, neither have they walked in their [appointed] paths?
14 To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: and in the night one will be as a thief:
15 And [the] eye of an adulterer - it watches for twilight saying not it will observe me an eye and covering of face he puts.
and the eye of the adulterer has watched [for] the darkness, saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on his face.
16 He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
In darkness he digs through houses: by day they conceal themselves securely: they know not the light.
17 For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death, for [each] will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death.
18 [is] swift He - on [the] surface of [the] waters it is cursed portion their in the land not anyone turns [the] direction of vineyards.
He is swift on the face of the water: let his portion be cursed on the earth; and let their plants be laid bare.
19 Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
[Let them be] withered upon the earth; for they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless. (Sheol h7585)
20 It forgets him [the] womb - it sucks on him maggot[s] again not he is remembered and it was broken like tree injustice.
Then is his sin brought to remembrance, and he vanishes like a vapor of dew: but let what he has done be recompensed to him, and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood.
21 [he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
For he has not treated the barren woman well, and has had no pity on a feeble woman.
22 And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: therefore when he has arisen, [a man] will not feel secure of his own life.
23 He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease.
24 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.
For his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.
25 And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, and will make my words of no account?
