Job Complains of Violence on the Earth

24"Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, Why do those who know Him see not His days?H6256H6845H7706H3045H2372H3117 2"Some remove landmarks; They seize flocks violently and feed on them;H5381H1367H1497H5739H7462 3They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow's ox as a pledge.H5090H2543H3490H2254H490H7794H2254 4They push the needy off the road; All the poor of the land are forced to hide.H5186H34H1870H6041H6035H776H2244H3162 5Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, They go out to their work, searching for food. The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.H6501H4057H3318H6467H7836H2964H6160H3899H5288 6They gather their fodder in the field And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.H7114H7114H1098H7704H3953H3754H7563 7They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.H6174H3885H3830H3682H7135 8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And huddle around the rock for want of shelter.H7372H2230H2022H2263H6697H4268 9"Some snatch the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge from the poor.H1497H3490H7699H2254H6041 10They cause the poor to go naked, without clothing; And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.H1980H6174H3830H5375H6016H7457 11They press out oil within their walls, And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst.H6671H996H7791H1869H3342H6770 12The dying groan in the city, And the souls of the wounded cry out; Yet God does not charge them with wrong.H4962H5008H5892H5315H2491H7768H433H7760H8604 13"There are those who rebel against the light; They do not know its ways Nor abide in its paths.H4775H216H5234H1870H3427H5410 14The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; And in the night he is like a thief.H7523H6965H216H6991H6041H34H3915H1590 15The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, 'No eye will see me'; And he disguises his face.H5869H5003H8104H5399H559H5869H7789H5643H7760H6440 16In the dark they break into houses Which they marked for themselves in the daytime; They do not know the light.H2822H2864H1004H2856H3119H3045H216 17For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them, They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.H1242H3162H6757H5234H1091H6757 18"They should be swift on the face of the waters, Their portion should be cursed in the earth, So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.H7031H6440H4325H2513H7043H776H6437H1870H3754 19As drought and heat consume the snow waters, So the grave consumes those who have sinned.H6723H2527H1497H7950H4325H7585H2398 20The womb should forget him, The worm should feed sweetly on him; He should be remembered no more, And wickedness should be broken like a tree.H7358H7911H7415H4988H2142H5766H7665H6086 21For he preys on the barren who do not bear, And does no good for the widow.H7462H6135H3205H3190H490 22"But God draws the mighty away with His power; He rises up, but no man is sure of life.H4900H47H3581H6965H539H2416 23He gives them security, and they rely on it; Yet His eyes are on their ways.H5414H983H8172H5869H1870 24They are exalted for a little while, Then they are gone. They are brought low; They are taken out of the way like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain.H7426H4592H4355H7092H1870H5243H7218H7641 25"Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech worth nothing?"H645H7760H3576H7760H4405H408
