Job 24:2 - Prayer Tents

24"Why are times not kept by the Almighty, and why do those who know him never see his days?H6256H6845H7706H3045H2372H3117 2The wicked remove landmarks; they seize flocks and pasture them.H5381H1367H1497H5739H7462 3They drive away the donkey of the orphan; they take the widow's ox for a pledge.H5090H2543H3490H2254H490H7794H2254 4They thrust the needy off the road; the poor of the earth all hide themselves.H5186H34H1870H6041H6035H776H2244H3162 5Like wild asses in the desert they go out to their toil, scavenging in the wasteland food for their young.H6501H4057H3318H6467H7836H2964H6160H3899H5288 6They reap in a field not their own and they glean in the vineyard of the wicked.H7114H7114H1098H7704H3953H3754H7563 7They lie all night naked, without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.H6174H3885H3830H3682H7135 8They are wet with the rain of the mountains, and cling to the rock for want of shelter.H7372H2230H2022H2263H6697H4268 9"There are those who snatch the orphan child from the breast, and take as a pledge the infant of the poor.H1497H3490H7699H2254H6041 10They go about naked, without clothing; though hungry, they carry the sheaves;H1980H6174H3830H5375H6016H7457 11between their terraces they press out oil; they tread the wine presses, but suffer thirst.H6671H996H7791H1869H3342H6770 12From the city the dying groan, and the throat of the wounded cries for help; yet God pays no attention to their prayer.H4962H5008H5892H5315H2491H7768H433H7760H8604 13"There are those who rebel against the light, who are not acquainted with its ways, and do not stay in its paths.H4775H216H5234H1870H3427H5410 14The murderer rises at dusk to kill the poor and needy, and in the night is like a thief.H7523H6965H216H6991H6041H34H3915H1590 15The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight, saying, 'No eye will see me'; and he disguises his face.H5869H5003H8104H5399H559H5869H7789H5643H7760H6440 16In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves up; they do not know the light.H2822H2864H1004H2856H3119H3045H216 17For deep darkness is morning to all of them; for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.H1242H3162H6757H5234H1091H6757 18"Swift are they on the face of the waters; their portion in the land is cursed; no treader turns toward their vineyards.H7031H6440H4325H2513H7043H776H6437H1870H3754 19Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters; so does Sheol those who have sinned.H6723H2527H1497H7950H4325H7585H2398 20The womb forgets them; the worm finds them sweet; they are no longer remembered; so wickedness is broken like a tree.H7358H7911H7415H4988H2142H5766H7665H6086 21"They harm the childless woman, and do no good to the widow.H7462H6135H3205H3190H490 22Yet God prolongs the life of the mighty by his power; they rise up when they despair of life.H4900H47H3581H6965H539H2416 23He gives them security, and they are supported; his eyes are upon their ways.H5414H983H8172H5869H1870 24They are exalted a little while, and then are gone; they wither and fade like the mallow; they are cut off like the heads of grain.H7426H4592H4355H7092H1870H5243H7218H7641 25If it is not so, who will prove me a liar, and show that there is nothing in what I say?"H645H7760H3576H7760H4405H408
