Job 24:1-25
[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? |

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity. |
