Job 24

Job Chapter 24 KJV

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