KJV Job Chapter 24
1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? 2 |Some| remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed |thereof|. 3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. 4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. 5 Behold, |as| wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness |yieldeth| food for them |and| for |their| children. 6 They reap |every one| his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. 7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that |they have| no covering in the cold. 8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 10 They cause |him| to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf |from| the hungry; 11 |Which| make oil within their walls, |and| tread |their| winepresses, and suffer thirst. 12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly |to them|. 13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. 14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. 15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth |his| face. 16 In the dark they dig through houses, |which| they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. 17 For the morning |is| to them even as the shadow of death: if |one| know |them, they are in| the terrors of the shadow of death. 18 He |is| swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. 19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: |so doth| the grave |those which| have sinned. 20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. 21 He evil entreateth the barren |that| beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. 22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no |man| is sure of life. 23 |Though| it be given him |to be| in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes |are| upon their ways. 24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all |other|, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. 25 And if |it be| not |so| now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
