Job 24

Why don’t those who know him see his days?

They violently take away flocks, and feed them.

and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.

The poor of the earth all hide themselves.

The wilderness yields them bread for their children.

They glean the vineyard of the wicked.

and have no covering in the cold.

and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.

and take a pledge of the poor,

Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.

They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.

yet God doesn’t regard the folly.

nor stay in its paths.

In the night he is like a thief.

He disguises his face.

They don’t know the light.

for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.

so does Sheol those who have sinned.

Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.

He shows no kindness to the widow.

He rises up who has no assurance of life.

His eyes are on their ways.

and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

and make my speech worth nothing?”
