Job 24

24:1

Why, seeing times
<06256>

are not hidden
<06845> (8738)

from the Almighty
<07706>_,

do they that know
<03045> (8802)

him not see
<02372> (8804)

his days
<03117>_?

24:2

[Some] remove
<05381> (8686)

the landmarks
<01367>_;

they violently take away
<01497> (8804)

flocks
<05739>_,

and feed
<07462> (8799)

[thereof]. {feed...: or, feed them}

24:3

They drive away
<05090> (8799)

the ass
<02543>

of the fatherless
<03490>_,

they take
<02254> (0)

the widow's
<0490>

ox
<07794>

for a pledge
<02254> (8799)_.

24:4

They turn
<05186> (8686)

the needy
<034>

out of the way
<01870>_:

the poor
<06041> (8675) <06035>

of the earth
<0776>

hide
<02244> (8795)

themselves together
<03162>_.

24:5

Behold, [as] wild asses
<06501>

in the desert
<04057>_,

go they forth
<03318> (8804)

to their work
<06467>_;

rising betimes
<07836> (8764)

for a prey
<02964>_:

the wilderness
<06160>

[yieldeth] food
<03899>

for them [and] for [their] children
<05288>_.

24:6

They reap
<07114> (8799) (8675) <07114> (8686)

[every one] his corn
<01098>

in the field
<07704>_:

and they gather
<03953> (8762)

the vintage
<03754>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

{corn: Heb. mingled corn, or, dredge} {they gather...: Heb. the wicked gather the vintage}

24:7

They cause the naked
<06174>

to lodge
<03885> (8686)

without clothing
<03830>_,

that [they have] no covering
<03682>

in the cold
<07135>_.

24:8

They are wet
<07372> (8799)

with the showers
<02230>

of the mountains
<02022>_,

and embrace
<02263> (8765)

the rock
<06697>

for want of a shelter
<04268>_.

24:9

They pluck
<01497> (8799)

the fatherless
<03490>

from the breast
<07699>_,

and take a pledge
<02254> (8799)

of the poor
<06041>_.

24:10

They cause [him] to go
<01980> (8765)

naked
<06174>

without clothing
<03830>_,

and they take away
<05375> (8804)

the sheaf
<06016>

[from] the hungry
<07457>_;

24:11

[Which] make oil
<06671> (8686)

within
<0996>

their walls
<07791>_,

[and] tread
<01869> (8804)

[their] winepresses
<03342>_,

and suffer thirst
<06770> (8799)_.

24:12

Men
<04962>

groan
<05008> (8799)

from out of the city
<05892>_,

and the soul
<05315>

of the wounded
<02491>

crieth out
<07768> (8762)_:

yet God
<0433>

layeth
<07760> (8799)

not folly
<08604>

[to them].

24:13

They are of those that rebel
<04775> (8802)

against the light
<0216>_;

they know
<05234> (8689)

not the ways
<01870>

thereof, nor abide
<03427> (8804)

in the paths
<05410>

thereof.

24:14

The murderer
<07523> (8802)

rising
<06965> (8799)

with the light
<0216>

killeth
<06991> (8799)

the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_,

and in the night
<03915>

is as a thief
<01590>_.

24:15

The eye
<05869>

also of the adulterer
<05003> (8802)

waiteth
<08104> (8804)

for the twilight
<05399>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

No eye
<05869>

shall see
<07789> (8799)

me: and disguiseth
<05643> <07760> (8799)

[his] face
<06440>_.

{disguiseth...: Heb. setteth his face in secret}

24:16

In the dark
<02822>

they dig through
<02864> (8804)

houses
<01004>_,

[which] they had marked
<02856> (8765)

for themselves in the daytime
<03119>_:

they know
<03045> (8804)

not the light
<0216>_.

24:17

For the morning
<01242>

[is] to them even as
<03162>

the shadow of death
<06757>_:

if [one] know
<05234> (8686)

[them, they are in] the terrors
<01091>

of the shadow of death
<06757>_.

24:18

He [is] swift
<07031>

as the waters
<06440> <04325>_;

their portion
<02513>

is cursed
<07043> (8792)

in the earth
<0776>_:

he beholdeth
<06437> (8799)

not the way
<01870>

of the vineyards
<03754>_.

24:19

Drought
<06723>

and heat
<02527>

consume
<01497> (8799)

the snow
<07950>

waters
<04325>_:

[so doth] the grave
<07585>

[those which] have sinned
<02398> (8804)_.

{consume: Heb. violently take}

24:20

The womb
<07358>

shall forget
<07911> (8799)

him; the worm
<07415>

shall feed sweetly
<04988> (8804)

on him; he shall be no more remembered
<02142> (8735)_;

and wickedness
<05766>

shall be broken
<07665> (8735)

as a tree
<06086>_.

24:21

He evil entreateth
<07462> (8802)

the barren
<06135>

[that] beareth
<03205> (8799)

not: and doeth not good
<03190> (8686)

to the widow
<0490>_.

24:22

He draweth
<04900> (8804)

also the mighty
<047>

with his power
<03581>_:

he riseth up
<06965> (8799)_,

and no [man] is sure
<0539> (8686)

of life
<02416>_.

{no...: or, he trusteth not his own life}

24:23

[Though] it be given
<05414> (8799)

him [to be] in safety
<0983>_,

whereon he resteth
<08172> (8735)_;

yet his eyes
<05869>

[are] upon their ways
<01870>_.

24:24

They are exalted
<07426> (8804)

for a little while
<04592>_,

but are gone and brought low
<04355> (8717)_;

they are taken out
<07092> (8735)

of the way
<01870>

as all [other], and cut off
<05243> (8799)

as the tops
<07218>

of the ears of corn
<07641>_.

{are gone: Heb. are not} {taken...: Heb. closed up}

24:25

And if [it be] not [so] now
<0645>_,

who will make
<07760> (8799)

me a liar
<03576> (8686)_,

and make
<07760> (8799)

my speech
<04405>

nothing worth
<0408>_?
