Job 24
1Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?2<add>Some</add> remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed <add>thereof</add>.3They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.4They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.5Behold, <add>as</add> wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness <add>yieldeth</add> food for them <add>and</add> for <add>their</add> children.6They reap <add>every one</add> his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.7They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that <add>they have</add> no covering in the cold.8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.9They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.10They cause <add>him</add> to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf <add>from</add> the hungry;11<add>Which</add> make oil within their walls, <add>and</add> tread <add>their</add> winepresses, and suffer thirst.12Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly <add>to them</add>.13They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.14The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth <add>his</add> face.16In the dark they dig through houses, <add>which</add> they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.17For the morning <add>is</add> to them even as the shadow of death: if <add>one</add> know <add>them, they are in</add> the terrors of the shadow of death.18He <add>is</add> swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.19Drought and heat consume the snow waters: <add>so doth</add> the grave <add>those which</add> have sinned.20The 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.21He evil entreateth the barren that <add>beareth</add> not: and doeth not good to the widow.22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no <add>man</add> is sure of life.23<add>Though</add> it be given him <add>to be</add> in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes <add>are</add> upon their ways.24They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all <add>other</add>, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.25And if <add>it be</add> not <add>so</add> now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
