And there is no covering in the cold. 8From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge--have embraced a rock. 9They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge. 10Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry--have taken away a sheaf. 11Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst. 12Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise. 13They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths. 14At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief. 15And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, `No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret. 16He hath dug in the darkness--houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light. 17When together, morning is to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade. 18Light he is on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards. 19Drought--also heat--consume snow-waters, Sheol those who have sinned. 20Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten on him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness. 21Treating evil the barren who beareth not, And to the widow he doth no good, 22And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life. 23He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes are on their ways. 24High they were for a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all others they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off. 25And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word? ‹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.
