And why do not they that know him see his days? 2There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them. 3They drive away the ass of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox for a pledge. 4They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves. 5Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wildernessyieldeththem bread for their children. 6They cut their provender in the field; And they glean the vintage of the wicked. 7They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold. 8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 9There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor; 10So thatthey go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves. 11They make oil within the walls of these men; They treadtheirwinepresses, and suffer thirst. 12From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly. 13These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof. 14The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief. 15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face. 16In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light. 17For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness; For they know the terrors of the thick darkness. 18Swiftly theypass awayupon the face of the waters; Their portion is cursed in the earth: They turn not into the way of the vineyards. 19Drought and heat consume the snow waters: So dothSheolthose thathave sinned. 20The womb shall forget him; The worm shall feed sweetly on him; He shall be no more remembered; And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree. 21He devoureth the barren that beareth not, And doeth not good to the widow. 22YetGod preserveth the mighty by his power: He riseth up that hath no assurance of life. 23God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; And his eyes are upon their ways. 24They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain. 25And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech nothing worth? ‹Previous chapterJob 23Next chapterJob 25›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsJob 24 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
