        Job 24
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         
      
      
        <b>1.  Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see 
        his days?</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the 
        cold.
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a 
        shelter.
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the 
        hungry;
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God 
        layeth not folly to them.
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor 
        abide in the paths thereof.
      
    <br/>

      
         14.  The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is 
        as a thief.
      
    <br/>

      
         15.  The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: 
        and disguiseth his face.
      
    <br/>

      
         16.  In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the 
        daytime: they know not the light.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not 
        the way of the vineyards.
      
    <br/>

      
         19.  Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         21.  He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
      
    <br/>

      
         22.  He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
      
    <br/>

      
         23.  Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon 
        their ways.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         25.  And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
